Nevermind really is Nirvana's best album. Every poster I have ever seen on any board claims it's Bleach or In Utero.

how do you define "best" though?Originally Posted by GulDukat
In Utero is my favorite because of a) the songs & lyrics, b) the production, and c) the artwork
i would be fine never listening to Nevermind (or seeing its cover art) ever again, not because it's bad, but because it just doesn't have the same impact for me

It's their best album because it has the best songs, IMHO. Pretty straightforward.

Nevermind is a great album. Almost too good, really.
The problem is that it's been so overplayed, it's completely unlistenable. At least, that's how it is for me.

I feel like In Utero (along with the Unplugged album) is Nirvana at their creative peak. That's not to take away from Nevermind per se. I really like Nevermind, but In Utero is more forward thinking and, in my opinion, a more interesting album than Nevermind.
Bleach is good, but I don't know why anyone would consider it their best album. Nostalgia maybe?

It's one of those albums, at least for me, that never gets old, all of the songs are great and it's timeless.
In Utero is great too, but of the two, I'd go with Nevermind.

Don't front dude...i KNOW you're skipping Teen Spirit like the rest of us.

I'm with you on the album art for sure, but come on...there's some barnburners on there that you shouldn't ignore (try to squint through one eye when clicking the links below):

Nah man. It's not the same experience if you don't get those opening chords.

Unplugged is as close as I get.

In Utero is peak Nirvana. I wonder what a follow up would’ve been like had he not died.
Heart-Shaped Box is one of the best 90’s radio hits to me. It’s so good.

Odds are Cobain's shine would have worn off at some point and he'd have started making bad music.
I was never really into Nirvana when they were around and only recently started appreciating them.
she/her/hers
ok, that cracked me up.
and yeah, those are my three favorite songs on the album!
House Always Wins
I think they would’ve churned out one more album that was a true magnum opus in 1996-1997 and would have fallen off then as most bands in that genre time frame did. Nu metal and pop were getting super big in the late 90’s and grunge was waning.
Cobain is and was not a stable man so might not have resulted in death but drugs would have taken a toll on his career somehow. Heroin is one of the worst things you can do.
As for Nirvana, I like them alright. I own In Utero in the 2013 Albini mix vinyl press and their discography on the computer but I’m far from a mega fan. I also never considered them the second coming of Christ in music like everyone else does or did either.

I think if Kurt hadn't died, In Utero would've been their last album anyway. Nirvana would end, but Kurt would continue making music and doing art. I can picture him doing weird projects and making music that he's happy with and he does it more because he wants to, not necessarily to get another hit album. Pretty much I picture him as a recluse artist.

Puddle of Mudds first record is fucking amazing. And a lot of the songs off Creeds Weathered are good too.

The song Blurry is really good, and Bullets gets my toe a tappin.

Bullets is a good track and so is What If.

Is this the right place to admit musical sin?
Because I always liked this song

I do like Creed's first album, the rest of their work is horrendous...
Active Member
I thought I read he was going to do something with Michael Stipe or do something acoustic.
Active Member
Creed had riffs for days. Mark Tremonti was the first artist to get his own guitar with Paul Reed Smith, even before Carlos Santana who was the first notable player to use them (he was the 2nd), and I can't be mad at that.
Active Member
This, except for What If as stated, and Bullets. Bullets is a monster (and the video...i mean...i have no words):

Liked Creed's first two album, liked most of what I heard from Alter Bridge, they are a slightly better-than-average modern rock band, wasn't too into Tremonti's solo albums.
Active Member
Creed would have been perfectly fine if it weren't for Stapp.
Active Member
That's Alter Bridge.
