 Another historical masterpiece that's often reviled in the prog community. I love it. Definitely does live up to its legacy. |

I did think your response was a bit harsh Hughes, but maybe I missed some other thread where Walter was bashing some modern music. If that was the case, then why wasn't I there?
Anyway, in response to the topic, I really don't enjoy Nevermind. The first time I listened to it was when a friend of mine was introducing me to music. I must have played that album a million times, to the point where now I can't listen to it all. Now when I hear a song from Nevermind I'm sure to skip it. I really don't see much substance in it. Give me "Dirt" by AiC any day. -------------

I'm tired of it. Bored. MTV'd out. Nirvana and RHCP....I am so over them. It had it's time. I liked it but I out grew it. I think that Cobain is overrated as well. I can't see how some think that he is one of the top 100 guitarists of all time as well.

| Not something I would listen to now, I think - for me, Nirvana didn't stand the test of time as well as some of their Seattle contemporaries, particularly Alice in Chains. But at the time it was a breath of fresh air from the absolute putridity I was hearing from popular (FM radio type) music in the late 80s. I personally think it helped give birth to a resurgence of good rock music in the 1990s, you had Lollapalooza and "alternative rock" stations that played stuff that was actually listenable - I can distinctly remember thinking in say 1989 that I would be stuck listening to 70s music for the rest of my life, but seeing the Teen Spirit video for the first time changed that view. It also helped me establish my own "music identity" and made me a more active fan of music, if that makes sense. So, important for me personally, and a decent album to boot, in my opinion. |

Hey, I'll step out on a limb here.
Nevermind is one of the great rock albums ever made. Rid your minds of all the media crap that has been spoken regarding this album. Rid your mind of Smells Like etc.
Just listen to one of rock's great triptychs:
In Bloom
Come As You Are
Breed
This is pure emotional rock, of the kind that had been missing in that time. This is an album that destroyed the business-as-usual of the industry as surely as Meet The Beatles or London Calling. This a band careening on some edge not many of us would willingly visit, lest we end up like Kurt.
Take your time, hurry up.

Date Posted: February 22 2009 at 23:03

There are a lot of really good songs on this album: Breed, Lithium, Territorial Pissings, Polly and In Bloom which I believe was influenced by King Crimson.
I really like a lot of the songs, but I have always found Curt's voice and personality to be annoying, also, he should not be using a flanger on his guitar. |

It's obvious your sense of humour is completely poor, if you laugh at serious comments that state a fact.
Wake up people... even rap, hiphop, whatever.. IS MUSIC. Maybe not your kind of music, but MUSIC.
About the album, I agree with the OP.. a masterpiece of its own kind. I liked it more now that I'm older and appreciate things qwithout stupid emotions more than a few years ago when I didn't hear the music and all i said was "it killed metal!"
Anyway, it didn't kill metal. It killed the popularity of a particular brand of commercial metal, but metal in all its forms is so alive and breathing... actually, much more than grunge... which is a genre that I still don't understand why people hate so much... -------------

I think people are also associating it with post-grunge and pop-punk, which are pretty much objectively the worst genres ever, but that's not fair because post-grunge and pop-punk are cashing in on the success of grunge and punk. At least grunge was a relatively unique musical movement. I mean just http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Post-grunge_groups - look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pop_punk_bands - this . I'd want to kill myself too if my musical work turned into that... ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

Hell Yes, love the album. There was a time a couple of years back that I couldn't put it on my player because I listened to it almost too much in high school, but now it's alive and well again. And the great (and sad) thing about Nirvana is that they just kept on getting better and better. In Utero is my favourite album from them and You Know You're Right definitely one of my favourite songs. I would have loved to hear how their next album would've sounded...

I actually encountered Nirvana first on their Saturday Night Live appearance. Thought they were a bit of joke what with Kurt's hair falling all over his face where he couldn't possibly see and him and Krist having their instruments slung so low (crotch level, had to be an intentional gimmick) that they must have been nearly impossible to play. A musician I respected, Tori Amos, appeared to be a fan though. I got a cheap used In Utero in '99, found it to be proggy at the fringes, got my hands on most of their catalog shortly thereafter. So to make it short (too late) I do like it and the band as it was in general.
So it's not my imagination, I thought there was a little Fripp influence in Kurt's style. Still for me Nevermind is an album best not worn out. I find In Utero to be better and they actually seemed to be on the way to more proggy territory. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I liked Nevermind quite a bit when it came out and wore that cd out pretty much. However, now it seems a bit bland in spots although some of the songs are still great: Lithium, Come As You Are, etc., it's not an album I play in its entirety much anymore. On the other hand, I find that In Utero has held up much better over time and I still like to dust that one off and play it. So the answer is yes, I do like it, but it's not their best IMO. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Nevermind is the subject of frequent debate here at the AR mansion. Micky loves the album, while I have to admit I find it a tad.. how can I say that... overrated. That said, I would not state I dislike it... Some of the songs are undoubtedly good ("Lithium", "Come As You Are"), others leave me cold. Personally, I very much prefer Pearl Jam's Ten, but I am aware of being an exception.

I thought it was a good album, but could never understand the iconic status given to it at the time and since; for my money, Nirvana reached their peak on the MTV (so-called) 'unplugged' album - when the songs were stripped right down, I found them more powerful.

I was the perfect age for this album, in high school (class of 90) you either liked Heavy Metal or New Wave although those categories were stupid as bands from Bon Jovi to Yngwie Malmsteen to Slayer were Heavy Metal and New Order to Sisters of Mercy to Ministry were placed under New Wave in our adolescent minds. Hair Metal was so spent, and though U2 and REM were putting out good music, they were established acts. Soundgarden, Faith No More, a few bands were lurking, but then Nirvana hit. They combined New Wave, Punk, and Metal into one sound, and suddenly (at least in the HS/College music culture I was part of) some of the artificial categorizations got blown apart. It's cultural significance was monumental. It is hard to think of a single album with more cultural significance (Never Mind the Bollocks????) though other groups are bigger.
Nevermind is good music too. I personally think Cobain had a limited range of creativity, and was already stretching it by In Utero, and he was doomed early on, but what he did was original and good.
Grunge in general is a totally different, bigger discussion. ------------- You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all. |

WASP would like to have a word with you.  As for Nirvana, I've begun to appreciate them when separated from the way they were hyped the be-all, end-all of rock'n'roll because they definitely weren't but their "1960s garage rock on the worst heroin overdose ever" shtick does have its charm. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

| I never liked grunge too much, and I'm not too fond of Nirvana's Nevermind neither, I like a couple of songs from that album, however, I respect it a lot. It's a cornerstone of one generation, it helped killing the synthpop of the 80's and it had brought electric guitar to the forefront again. |

As anybody who was a teenager in the 90's, I was exposed to the rays of Nirvana's "Nevermind". Yet, I never heard the whole album and I still haven't bought it. In 1993/1994, I didn't feel like buying it, because there were all the singles on the radio. When Cobain killed himself, I didn't buy any record from Nirvana: I don't like necrophiliac cults. And I started to see younger people who were young children wearing t-shirts with the portrait of Cobain, I still could not buy anything from Nirvana. |

I have Nevermind and I like it, but I have a rule that I only listen to half of the cd in one listening session. Not because the music is too intense, but because the cd has too little diversity to sit the whole thing out. Having said that: I have to say that Kurt Cobain was a good song writer, much better than he was usually credited for. People always looked at the surface things, the stuff that gets into the press. Cobain was talented, also as a lyricist, and history has proven that Dave Grohl has some talent as well. |

| The Pat Boone album is called In A Metal Mood and its nowhere near as classy as the paul Anka. Boone covers Enter Sandman, You've Got Another Thing Coming and Holy Diver among others, but the arrangements are pretty boring. Just a lot of brass playing straight transcriptions of the guitar parts. Nothing like what Paul Anka did on Rock Swings. A good arranger is worth his weight in gold. |

While there are some gems from the grunge scene (Alice In Chains' Sap, Jar of Flies, & Dirt, Soundgarden's Louder then Love & Ultramega OK, Melvins' Lysol), Nevermind, IMO, wasn't one of them. The proto-grunge scene was much cooler with bands like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., & The Pixies... |

I'm a bit surprised that you like Pixies but not Nirvana, since Nirvana were basically an updated version of that band. IMO both are great (and I'll gladly give the edge to Pixies), but Nirvana are definitely a worthy successor. In other news, anyone who likes Nevermind but hasn't heard the Pixies album Doolittle, try and hear it ASAP. It's similar but even better. |

I'm not familiar enough with In Utero yet to really know how it compares to Nevermind (though I do like it, I just need to hear it more). Pixies are definitely better, no doubt in part because they came first. I just think that Nirvana did an excellent job of navigating the waters Pixies charted (to carry on the metaphor). |

| 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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Barla/?chartstyle=LastfmMyspace">

And you have to admit Kurt did a great job of singing with marbles in his mouth.

I do. Their first two albums are brilliant and the latest one very fine too. Some good and some less good material in between. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

| 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. |

I'm no Cobain fan, and I think he is a bit overrated, thoug he's not a bad musician at all. I think what happened with Kurt, Heath, and many more people is that they died YOUNG, and possibly that put them in a 'myth' status. Honestly, suppose Cobain was still alive these days, wouldn't he be almost 'just another musician' in this mainstream-driven music world? To some extent, yes, with the adittion that he released one of the most influential albums from the 90s. In other words, he would still be quite important, but not as he's now. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Barla/?chartstyle=LastfmMyspace">

| 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. |

No sir, I don't like it. 
I never got the Nirvana/Cobain thing (or grunge in general, for that matter). It just sounds like anger, pain anxiety and dysfunction set to a (plodding) beat, to me. I can't relate, nor do I want to. Give me some of the good ol' rock and roll, or up-beat & cheery new wave which preceded Nevermind and its angsty ilk.
It was an important album, you say? Fine -- I won't dispute that -- but it does nothing for me. Frankly, I find Nirvana to be grating and a decided DOWNER.
  But to each his own -- one man's meat, and all that...  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

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."

Ah, when I was old, which I was at the time and even moreso am now, I'd throw on a little Nevermind and be reminded of what rock could be.

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...
