31. Nevermind

Nevermind by Nirvana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Legendary. What more can be said? If it wasn't for this band, big hair bands might be ruling today.

I just wonder if Kurt Cobain never committed suicide, what Nirvana would be today. It gives me chills to think of it. It makes me grateful that a band like Soundgarden could reunite this year. Now if only that could have been Nirvana.

All these tracks kick ass. "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come As You Are", "Breed", etc. etc. They speak to a generation of disillusioned youth. Kurt's strained vocals tear into you while Grohl's powerful drumming and Krist's playing just take rock to a new level. It's a rare chemistry that one may only see and hear once every 25 to 50 years.

I know many have already heard this album, but I have to include it. If you haven't, don't miss it.
