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.

samesies.

They're not my FAVORITE band, but they might be the MOST IMPORTANT band to me.

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, 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.

Go home you old man. I hate when you guys do that to us youngsters.

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...
