The HIRS collective side of the split with Thou is great also for a high energy run through of not so obvious nirvana tunes. (Aneurysm is particularly great) cut with some audio from live tonight sold out.

I was 14 when Nevermind came out and along with Pearl Jamâs Ten, they are the two most important records in shaping what I listen to even now. Donât really ever want to hear Smells Like Teen Spirit again, yâknow, but thatâs because itâs almost become Living On A Prayer/Sweet Child of Mine/Summer of 69 wedding heritage rock, not because it is bad. 5/5.
Nevermind was the first album I learned to play on the drums and will always be a big injection of nostalgia directly into my veins.
Went with 4
Absolute 5/5 for me, Clive. Sounds very precious but Iâve only just recently been able to listen to Nirvana again as I was so heavily into it throughout my teenage high-school and college years and itâs hard listening to them without taking me back to the useless little prick I was back then.
Whatever the thoughts on âgrungeâ and âslackersâ it turned me on to so many left-wing issues (homophobia, sexism, racism etc) and itâs only as the years have gone by I realise just how much it shaped my worldview.
I also did my very first sex while listening to Bleach. (âTwenty-eight I wasâ, etcâŠ)
love the idea that your answer to the question âdescribe your first time using only one wordâ could be âbleachâ
training-day ice-breakers have got even more uncomfortable
i liked the smiley face logo
which bands have good logos nowadays?
All the black metal ones.
Always felt that Gorillazâs one summed up the whole aesthetic of what theyâre doing really well.
I was about 8-9 when Nirvana were really big and I HAAAATED them, thought they were awful. Rolled my eyes when Kurt died, etc. Too busy dreaming about marrying Mark Owen or whatever
Felt really bad a few years later when I properly got into grunge and realised he was a genius and the other two were a GBOL my friend at school was completely obsessed and I remember we went to the nirvana photography exhibition in London which was really cool

oh ffs

2 out of 5. Important at the time, as aged badly and In Utero has always been terrible, with Frances Farmer being the only good track on it.
The B side to Teen Spirit was the best thing they ever did.
yeah, thinking about it, of the first 4 cassettes I bought on the day mentioned up thread:
everyone used to have one.
