Do you like Kurt Cobain? I've been a big Nirvana fan ever since the realease of their 1991 album, 'Nevermind'.
Before that I really didn't understand any of their work, it was too artsy, too intellectual.
It was on 'Nevermind' where Kurt Cobain's presence became more apparent.
I think 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is the group's undisputed masterpiece.
It's an epic meditation on intangebility.
At the same it deeps and enriches the meaning of the preceeding album.
Listen to the brilliant ensable playing, of Novoselic and Grohl, you can practially hear every nuance of every instrument.
In terms of lyrical craftsmanship and sheer songwriting this album hits a new peak of professionalism.
Take the lyrics to 'In Bloom':
In this song, Kurt Cobain addresses the problems of abusive political authority.
'Lithium' is the most moving pop song of the 1990's about monogamy and commitment.
The song is extremely uplifting, their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.
