Nevermind

Ah the 90's, full of rebellious, loud, aggressive grunge bands with Nirvana being no exception.  The trio out of Washington state is what I like to think of the definition of grunge; with the combination of Cobain's raspy and distinctive voice, the intense slamming on the drums, and the whaling of the guitar (and sometimes intense bass...when you can hear it) makes for one amazing rock band.  

Their most famous album, Nevermind, is full of lovely and happy hits like everyone's favorite: "Smells Like Teen Spirit," along with others like "In Bloom," "Breed," and "Lithium."  Another one of my favorites, "Heart Shaped Box," isn't on this particular album but on their third album In Utero.

It honestly took me about 3 years to fully understand what Cobain is "singing" throughout the chorus.

I'm sorry? What about the dinosaurs? 

So, um...what did I just watch?

Despite the fact that these guys makes some of the strangest videos I have ever seen, they sure know how to rock.  And although Cobain is no where near to the level of playing as some other guitarists of the time like Mike McCready of Pearl Jam or even Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, that's what makes him (and the band) so unique.
