View More By Nirvana Our ReviewNirvana’s debut album was recorded for a little more than $600 over a few days in engineer Jack Endino’s studio where many early grunge recordings from Seattle were made. No one knew the fortunes awaiting the band. Kurt Cobain’s songwriting is already in place as the jangle-pop hook of “About a Girl” illustrates. However, the production emphasizes the band’s molten crunch, not yet completely solidified without drummer Dave Grohl. (“Floyd the Barber” trudges with an anchoring rhythm section.)

The original recording was done for 600 bucks, this is how Nirvana was meant to be heard! 20th Anniversary (5 stars) Nirvanas still is, and will always be, an amazing band. BiographyFormed: 1987 in Aberdeen, WAGenre: Rock Years Active: '80s, '90s Prior to Nirvana, alternative music was consigned to specialty sections of record stores, and major labels considered it to be, at the very most, a tax write-off. After the band's second album, 1991's Nevermind, nothing was ever quite the same, for better and for worse. Nirvana popularized punk, post-punk, and indie rock, unintentionally bringing it into the American mainstream like no other band to date. While their sound was equal parts Black Sabbath (as learned by fellow Washington underground...
