i like nirvana. no.. i really like nirvana. i was a little too young at the time they started and rose to fame, but as a six year old i did watch mtv in the early '90s a lot. mostly waiting for the new michael jackson video to be shown, another video really got my attention: 'smells like teen spirit'. i liked it, but didn't really care for it that much as i wanted to see 'smooth criminal'.
it was only years later, when i saw that video again when i realized how freakin' awesome this was. but despite my young age at the time, it did not pass unnoticed. since then i've been reading all i can about them, mainly about kurt's life, but especially listening to all their other music: from the first album 'bleach' till obscure, never released before footage. and let's not forget, their masterpiece (imho): 'mtv unplugged'.
yesterday marked the 20 year anniversary of their 2nd studio album, 'nevermind'. from this album came smells like teen spirit, which created a huge shift in mainstream music and was the sound of the so called 'generation x'. this album brought many other great songs, including 'come as you are', 'breed' and my all time favorite 'lithium':
