Nirvana
Comment:
"What would the music industry be like if Nirvana were still around?" It's a question many have asked since Kurt Cobain succumbed to the pressures of pop stardom on April 5, 1994 — the Day Alternative Rock Died. The reason for the recurring question? The trio's Top 40 takeover, a catchy but caustic wave of squealing and screeching (epitomized in the feedback-smothered irony of "Radio Friendly Unit Shifter") that pulled the plug on the flat-lining glam-metal and new wave scenes of the '80s. With Cobain long gone and a pile of subversive pop records (the broad riff strokes of "Love Buzz," the pointed poltergeist trails of a "Smells Like Teen Spirit" demo) left in his wake, we want to know HOW NIRVANA DID IT — how they got through to [i]all of us[/i]. Listen and learn.
