Nevermind – Nirvana

Nevermind – Nirvana

Nirvana was an American rock band that was formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl.

Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991.

Despite low commercial expectations by the band and its record label, Nevermind became a surprise success in late 1991, largely due to the popularity of its first single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. By January 1992, it had replaced Michael Jackson’s album Dangerous at number one on the Billboard charts.

Smells Like Teen Spirit is the most popular, and easily recognizable. It’s also probably the most important, as it helped launch them into fame. The clean intro is a staple to up and coming guitar players looking to learn some of their favorite songs.

Come As You Are is one of my favorite tracks here. It’s got a wonderful guitar line, good vocals, and some fairly decent lyrics. “And I swear that I don’t have a gun” repeats Kurt during the bridge. Lithium is also a fan favorite, with it’s frequent shouting during the chorus and soft vocals during the verse. It also contains a great line in “I’m so horny, but that’s okay/My will is good.”

Nirvana was one of the biggest acts in the 90’s…. Definitely recommended!!!
