Nirvana - Nevermind is 30 (thirty) today 08:23 - Sep 24 with 2534 viewsDubtractor

Scary to think that it now very definitely classifies as a golden oldie, and that therefore I must be old too, but I figured a nirvana thread for us to wallow in nostalgia wouldn't hurt on a Friday morning.

Gutted that I never got to see them live, but Nevermind was a real soundtrack to my teenage years.

This is my pick.


I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Seminal album, 30 years is ridiculous.


From the same year Pearl Jam's "10" Album was also a soundtrack to sunnier times.

Definitely makes me feel old. Also never got to see them live, I did have tickets for Brixton Academy in April 1994, but we know how that ended...

Pearl Jam's 10 was also an amazing album, along with Blood Sugar Sex Magik (which apparently was also released 30 years ago today!)

3 of the best albums ever IMO, was a great period for rock music.

Was lucky enough to see them at Reading in 91 and 92. They were fun.

What a band and what a man Kurt was. Such a shame about his…….”suicide”

Also Krist Nov is some sort of loony gun nut libertarian now. No idea what happened to the other guy.

Breed is an excellent shout, my favourite track is Lounge Act but Breed comes in second. It's a seminal album without a doubt, though as a whole album I think I prefer In Utero. We are officially old now, Nevermind was released closer to the first Beatles album than to today.

Can't imagine the drummer went on to do much else.

It's tops. Just shows that if you strip away all the nonsense that surrounded Cobain, he could write a tune.

What can you say about an album like Nevermind, except for thank goodness it exists. Some excellent picks here, I've always gravitated towards Drain You but really it depends on my mood.

I wasn't around to witness them first hand so Nevermind was naturally the first album I heard from them. Whilst I prefer In Utero, I wouldn't have discovered Pennyroyal Tea or All Apologies if it wasn't for Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Drain You is another excellent shout. Lithium was the song that first got me into Nirvana but I wouldn't have it in my top 3 songs off the album now.

It's not really fair to compare the 2 given Nirvana burned bright and fast but I think it could be a fun discussion.

The Foo Fighters are a better band than Nivana discuss?

There's nothing to discuss, it's a patently false proposition.

I was a huge fan of Lithium as a teenager but would have to agree with that as well now.

Wow what an incredible week for music - although I'm sure someone could throw something else up to make me water that statement down a little.

Jive Bunny's third album came out in 1991, although I can't confirm if it was released in September.

Did get to see them at N*rwich Arts Centre in 1989.

Didn’t think much of them, to be honest.

But I did get a little excited when they shambolically covered ‘Love Buzz’. I love Shocking Blue.

I will save my rose-tinted contact lenses for the Primal Scream ‘Screamadelica’ thread…

I was told that they played the Sea Cadet Hall in Cambridge on one of their early UK tours, a week or so before I played there with my band. Never been able to verify this, but a lot of bands played there around this time.
