Nevermind catapulted Nirvana into the musical spotlight with the sound of pounding drums, grinding guitars and the distinctive voice of Kurt Cobain. The album managed to successfully combine 70s rock with alternative punk. The tune “Smells Like Teen Spirit” that speaks to alienated teenagers everywhere became an early 90s anthem. Cobain’s surprising sense of humor appears in songs such as “In Bloom” and “Lithium,” whereas “Come As You Are” is definitely twisted and dark with a deep opening basss and melodic vocal arrangement. The guitars on “Breed” and “Stay Away” are incredible, and Kurt’s background vocals are perfect on “On A Plain.” Nevermind remains one of Nirvana’s most popular and affectionately remembered bodies of work.
