NEVERMIND poll

it was a product of it's time. i actually saw Nirvana open up for Sonic Youth three months before Nevermind was released. they absolutely blew my mind that night. it was one of those moments were i knew i has witnessing something very special. best thing about Nirvana was the killing of hair metal. i hated the KNAC culture and it was something i could latch onto.

I listened to this album this morning for the first time in at least 10 years. It's pretty good!

Incidentally, the other day I heard Hole's "Live Through This" for the first time. It's pretty good, too! I totally forgot I saw them live back in 1994 I think. Never saw Nirvana live, never really wanted to, nor do I regret missing them live. But yeah, "Nevermind" is pretty good!

It's a great record! I know it was trendy for a few years for some to knock Nevermind because of its relatively shiny mix, pop smarts and its status as a gateway album, but all of those things are just a few of the reasons why it's such a great record. I've lost count of the number of people I've spoken to with a deep interest in alternative rock that began with this album.

wow I thought come as you are was a consensus favorite!

these days it's Lithium
