What are the best and worst songs off every Nirvana album? Let’s discuss.
Nirvana have one of the more storied yet brief careers in the rock world. It started with a mostly overlooked album in Bleach that showed the promise of what was to come. Their 1991 set Nevermind managed to flip the music world on its ear, making alternative mainstream overnight and officially kicking off “grunge” as the new dominant form of rock. Then came In Utero, an album that’s still quite remarkable despite the unreal expectations that band was facing at the time.
Each of these albums has standout tracks. You can probably call them off by name. And our picks for the best of each record certainly find that perfect blend of songwriting brilliance, performance perfection and just plain earworm connectivity. But as great as Kurt Cobain may have been as a songwriter and performer, not every song was a gem. Some Nirvana tracks offered more of a challenge to get into. So we’ll take a look at see what the low points were as well.
