What more can one say about Nirvana that hasn't already been said? As the leading light of the Seattle grunge revolution in the '90s, along with other groups like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, they're one of America's best-loved bands in history. Formed in 1987, their first full-length release, "Bleach," largely flew under the radar. When they signed their first deal with a major label and recorded their now-iconic "Nevermind" album, the label only pressed a few thousand copies at first, not nearly imagining what was to come.
The band is among the most iconic of all time, mentioned in the same breath as The Doors and The Ramones regarding cultural influence. When "Nevermind" came out in 1991, it transformed mainstream music virtually overnight. It's not only one of the finest Nirvana albums; it also confirmed the band's place among the pantheon of legendary bands of our time. Millions worldwide can still remember where they were when they heard the monster hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Their final release, Nirvana MTV Unplugged In New York, is also a firm classic.
Nirvana is still revered, Although they only released three studio albums in roughly three years. The untimely demise of lead singer and songwriter Kurt Cobain only heightened the band's popularity and made their albums more sought-after. If any group can claim to have spoken on behalf of an entire generation, it's this one. This is a big reason behind the enduring desirability of their vinyl records and music. They're still a worldwide phenomenon, which is all the proof you need of their longevity.
