Do you like Nevermind

When Nevermind came out in 1991 I was listening to Adrian Belew,  Robert Fripp & The League of Crafty Guitarists, XTC, Harold Budd, Sarah McLachlan, Phil Manzanera, Dave Stewart/Barbara Gaskin, Steve Howe, Yes (Yes, Union, yes), Darryl Way, Andy Summers, Pere Ubu...

Very OT in this context, but we recently acquired Manzanera's Southern Cross album for 4 bucks), and I think you really nailed its review. The album may not be the epitome of prog, but it's certainly a very pleasant listen.

Hardcore Prog and jazz fan and I can honestly say that Nivermind rocks!!!  I can't denied also Peal Jam Ten.. early 1990's great years.

I don't like Nirvana at all, however I kind of  like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains  and Soundgarden. 

Yes, it is a great album, a classic in their genre, and that's a merit! 
And actually I think Nevermind has one of the best productions I've ever heard.

It's a classic and easily the most influential album from the 90's,die-hard prog fans like it or not.

I like it but I don't think Kurt Cobain is as good as the media would make you believe he is. I think the tribute to him turned him into an idol.. Like Heath Ledger.

wow, I had no idea so many had such a bad opinion about this album. I found this album in tape form hidden in the woods of my elementary school when I was 10 and didn't like it when I heard it... however many listens later by the time I was 15... (10 years ago)  I couldn't imagine my progression into music without it. 

I agree Peter.  When I was young we'd drive around with the windows down and say "f**k the World!".  The Cobain generation rolled up the windows and whined "The world f**ked me."  

In the early 90's i was working in a large department store in central London, and would often go down to the basement to see in stock deliveries, the guys who ran this department were a fairly grungy crowd (obviously kept well away from the smart suited types on the sales floor) and i would often chat to them about many things including music, as they had a huge ghetto blaster always on. One day the music was louder than ever.....they had a tape of "Nevermind" playing, and the strains of "Teen Spirit" at full volly sounded pretty uplifting for an ageing jaded rocker. I bought the album and have loved it ever since, though i only recently discovered "Teen Spirit" was a girls' deodorant...
