September 24th marks a sacred date for Gen Xers: Nirvana's 1991 grunge masterpiece 'Nevermind' celebrates its (get ready to feel old) 30th anniversary! Yes, that's right, the album that was the soundtrack to your 90's life is now 3-decades old, and in its honor, co-host Chris Logan and I celebrate why it still packs a punch.
In this episode, we discuss what it was like hearing 'Nevermind' for the first time (including seeing the music video for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'), how it still holds up, and how it changed the pop culture landscape, making alternative go from the underground into the mainstream.
In addition we discuss which tracks hold up the best, Butch Vig's solid production, all the other great alternative music that came out in fall of 91 (including fellow Seattle grunge acts Pearl Jam's 'Ten' and Soundgarden's 'BadMotorFinger', why Kurt Cobain was such a transformational and tragic figure, the recent lawsuit over the album's cover art and much more. So put on your purple cardigan and join us, won't you?
