Nevermind is arguably both the making of and downfall of Nirvana. The early nineties were defined by the Seattle sound of Grunge, and Nirvana – fronted by Kurt Cobain and supported by Dave Grohl (now of the Foo Fighters) – led the way. The album is full of classic songs, such as ‘Come as You Are’ with its instantly recognisable intro, and the mournful ‘Something in The Way’. There is one song above all others though that Nevermind is defined by. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ is one of Generation X’s true anthems, with its iconic riff and barely legible vocals. It threw the band into the limelight, from which Kurt Cobain never fully recovered. Kurt never enjoyed the huge fame this album bought the band, and his tragic death in 1994 brought a premature end to the bands reign at the top. As a result, Nevermind remains Nirvanas finest body of work. It is unarguably culturally significant, encapsulating the age perfectly, and demands attention from anyone who appreciates good music.
