Nirvana was a band from Seattle that formed in the late 1980s and would shape the music industry a few years later. Led by Kurt Cobain, the band became the face of grunge music and the top band in alt rock with the release of this album - their first on a major record label. It's fair to say it's among a very few albums to truly change music history.
Cobain died in 1994, becoming something akin to the Generation X's John Lennon.
Despite only being a band for a few years, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
