Few works of art have wrapped themselves around the cultural consciousness, like
the Nevermind album from
Nirvana. If the sound seems old, that's because tons of bands after
Nirvana tried to copy their style. It seems like Kurt Cobain kept all of inner rage and heartbreak to himself for years and this is what came out when he was finally able to express himself openly. The Nevermind album can still definitely blow your speakers out. From the punk-turbo-charged riff of "
Smells Like Teen Spirit" to the haunting "Something in the Way," this disc squarely puts what was once underground into the mainstream.
