Since it's a current topic of vein-popping interest amongst certain personalities here...let's blow it up properly. :D

It wasn't their first album, but it's the one out of all three of their studio projects (between Bleach in 1989 and In Utero in 1993) that put them on the map.

At the time it came out, I'd just gotten out of school and was doing the grind at a copy shop in Kips Bay. I worked with a couple of rock heads and there almost wasn't a day that the disc wasn't being played front to back several times daily, on top of everything Nirvana and the whole grunge scene emitted. Came out of it knowing the lyrics to everything they did in my sleep.

Thoughts, reflections?
 
The 80's was a bad time for rocknroll. Long hair pretty boys and guitar ballads. Commercialism really getting a good grip on music. I was well out of school with a set music taste, Floyd, Tull, Rush, 70s stuff. Nirvana was the first band I really appreciated since I was in high school. Also opened me up to more punk type music. Offspring's Smash had similar effect. Green Days first album. Bought my first Ramones and Motorhead albums. Awakened my interest in music after the Flock of Seagull Thompson Twin 80s full of hair metal bands.
 
well, i'd just like that it is not in fact less dangerous with the lights off. in fact, more often than not it is more dangerous.

and the best thing nirvana ever did was introduce the vaselines to the world (kinda, sorta), so yay for that.

When it came out I was at a crossroads in my musical tastes. I was a punk rock kid that liked some old metal. At the time, both genres were garbage and I took to hip-hop. I got deep into that shit and love it. Eric B & Rakim, Native Tongues (Tribe, the JB's, De La). NWA, Ice T, Geto Boys were blowing up along with 2 Live Crew and of course P.E. & The Beatsy Boys.

I started to here about bands like Mudhoney, Dinosaur, Soundgarden, Seaweed, Tad, Helmet, Pixies and Chicago stuff.

Then Nirvana *Nevermind* blew up and really shaped my likes and dislikes. I loved Minor Threat so when Fugazi came out, I was all about it.

Nevermind killed MTV hair bands, shitty rap and pop in 6 months of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I was going to school in Texas during the In Utero tour and was in SoCal for Fall break and saw Nirvana at the LA Forum. We sat in front of Norm from Cheers. Butthole Surfers opened up.

I missed the vein popping must be someone I have on ignore. It's an album cover that's over 20 years old. :confused:
 
I was a senior in college when that record hit. It was EVERYWHERE. The scene changed for the better. Clubs booked bands, people went out to see bands. I was a good time to play rock music.

Thank god for that!!!
 
A lot of Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Everclear, Soundgarden...yeah, everything that era was about, we played the fuck out of it.

Fuck them. Everclear was probably the worst band I have ever seen live that were *stars*. Awful. And I liked them.

No, no he's quite right. I've dug my cd out and placed a large plaster over that baby, lest a paedophile rifles through my music collection. Can't be too careful.

And Lead Belly, the Meat Puppets, The Velvet Underground.

The did some cool covers, and I dug that the bassist was Croatian, other than that, meh.

I was into punk too, so MTV was not my thing.

This is the sound of my high school and college years. God, I love Everclear so much. Time to dig out some old CDs.

yeah, i said best thing not only thing. best and only are not synonyms. in fact they mean completely different things. you can google them if you don't believe me.
 
And Lead Belly, the Meat Puppets, The Velvet Underground.

lead belly, sure. late x generation anyway, but, no, the doors movie is what clued me in on the greatness of the velvet underground at least once i found out they were responsible for heroin.
 
A cycle, repeated.

Young people are offended, when they are expected to regurgitate clones of other people's choices.
