Yeah, I mean in total honesty, there isn't a Nirvana album that I don't love. They're all great in my opinion and I'll listen to them all often enough.

They were freaking great. I got into them in 89 when I saw a poster in Salt Lake City for a Melvins show. Opening was Nirvana. I'd just bought a Melvins LP and I asked the store owner who Nirvana was. He said, "One of those hair bands from Seattle. The kids are all into the Melvins though."
I think then I picked up a copy of the Bleach LP, fell in love with the cover, and nothing was ever the same.

As much as I love them, and that they impacted my life in a way very few bands ever have or could do again, it must be close to 10 years since I listened to a Nirvana album start to finish.

why is that funny? i started listening to nirvana and it just branched out from there. i would surely have punched you by now if this were face to face.

Yup, Nirvana seems to be the gateway band around these parts. For most people anyways...

I credit Sonic Youth for that. Got into them much before Nirvana. And I often wonder why Goo didn't do for Sonic Youth--and for alternative music--what Nevermind did a year later.

Yeah. MTV played the hell out of it almost from the start.

Yeah, I've heard the video played a major part in its success. Musically i think it could've just as easily been Freak Scene or even Touch Me I'm Sick - which I actually think are for better songs than Smells Like ... But there you go. Just a case of the right song at exactly the right time i suppose.

Yeah, true. I also think Sonic Youth might have seemed a bit too art scene smug for a wider audience. Nirvana was grittier.

And the right singer. Even if Freak Scene had been released a couple of years later as the whole wave broke, J Mascis would never have been on as many magazine covers and bedroom walls as Kurt. |

Yeah, except for those of us who'd been into Sonic Youth for 3-4 years already when we first saw Nirvana in 1988... |
