Nirvana – Come As You Are

More about Nirvana

Nirvana, an emblematic figure of the grunge movement, emerged from the Pacific Northwest's vibrant music scene in the late 1980s. Formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987, the band consisted of vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and a series of drummers, the most famous being Dave Grohl, who joined in 1990. Nirvana's raw, explosive sound was a seismic shift in the musical landscape, challenging the glam metal dominance of the time. Their second album, 'Nevermind' (1991), catapulted the band to global fame, largely due to the overwhelming success of the anthem 'Smells Like Teen Spirit.' This album marked a generational shift in music, bringing both the band and the grunge genre to the forefront of the early '90s cultural zeitgeist. Despite their meteoric rise, Nirvana's journey was marred by Cobain's struggles with fame, health, and addiction. The band's discography, though brief, with just three studio albums – 'Bleach' (1989), 'Nevermind' (1991), and 'In Utero' (1993) – left an indelible mark on the music industry and fans worldwide. Nirvana's story came to a tragic end with Cobain's death in 1994, but their music continues to influence and inspire generations of musicians and fans alike, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential and important rock bands of all time.
