what’s your favorite nirvana song? (or cover they did?) comment below!

There are a lot of options for this, but I'd narrow it down to three this time to choose: Heart-Shaped Box, Lithium or Paper Cuts. Every song repesenting my favorite on their albums. "Nevermind" and "In Utero" are still battling for my No. 1 Nirvana album (Bleach is still a great starting point for a band). But my favorite act from the grunge movement will always be Alice in Chains, but that's another story. Anyway, for a long time my favorite was Heart-Shaped Box and I guess it still remains as the one for me 🙂 In terms of covers, I think picking one from the MTV Unplugged one is almost undeniable. Either "Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam" or "The Man Who Sold the World".

In Utero is their best album, hands down. Milk It is my favorite song by them. I saw Hole live on the Live Through This tour in Rochester, NY a few months after Kurt died. It was a great show and Courtney was her usual crazy self. Me and some friends were hanging out outside the venue afterwards when Courtney and Melissa walked right out the front door. Melissa said hi to everyone and walked off. Courtney hung around a bit. She signed autographs for all of us and talked music with us. She told us to never give up on ourselves and to never let anyone tell us who we are. She was incredibly sweet and gracious. She told us that she loved us before we left. I always feel the need to repeat that story whenever she is brought up. Yeah, she was a train wreck but there was a side to her that people didn't see. I know you didn't trash her or anything. I.just thought you might find the story interesting. I can't wait fir the Live Through This episode! One of the best albums of the 90's. I will die on that hill.

I had a similar experience with the conspiracies around Kurts death. Growing up, my parents spout the idea that Courtney was responsible for Kurt's death and how he wasn't suicidal because he said he wasn't, how "I hate myself and want to die" was just a joke and how his attempt in Rome was an accident, but as someone who's been battling through depression and suicidal ideation, of COURSE he brushed off being depressed and suicidal. He said contradictory things all the time, such as him not wanting to be famous but saying in previous interviews how he's always wanted to be famous. And of course he wouldn't want the world to know. My own parents hardly if at all know that I've been struggling through depression for years, and I sure as hell avoid admitting it to them. It's annoying in a way to discredit the struggles he was facing and pin it all on Courtney

That was a terrific review. This album always takes me back to that week in April 1994, when I was working in Tacoma, WA for a few days. That day the local rock radio stations reported all morning about an unidentified man found dead in Kurt's home, and all I could think of was the stalker syndrome that seemed to be part of the culture of the time and that some desperate fan had broken into his home and then, well, met with a bad ending. Later in the day when it was confirmed to be Kurt, I just felt a profound sadness. He was only about a year older than me, so while I was a fan I felt a few years removed from the "he speaks for me" generation. It felt more like I'd just lost a contemporary, someone I could've gone to school with. So thumbs way up for In Utero and All Apologies, my favorite of theirs.

I was already in my 20s and in college when Nevermind came out and, having lived through it, can state that the legacy of Nirvana is well deserved. Prior to Nevermind there was a stagnation to the music that we were hearing on the radio versus the raw energy we were seeing from local bands who were already utilizing the “grunge” sound in the club scene. Once Nirvana hit the mainstream, the change was absolutely palpable. We were finally hearing the music on the radio that spoke to us. The music we were hearing our friends play in bars was now on the radio. I can’t think of another band that ushered in such a change other than the Beatles.

@@abigaildevoe It’s funny because there are some things that you don’t realize are happening when you are actually living through them..like looking back at a picture and thinking that you can’t believe you dressed like that. With Nirvana, you knew right away that there was a change and you were living through it. All of the sudden the same clubs that were playing “2 Legit to Quit” or “O.P.P.” were now playing “Come as you are”, which was the same music we were already hearing in the more “goth” or alternative clubs at the time. It was both strange and wonderful at the same time!

I remember all of it well. My ear was more to the ground in those days, I was in my late teens / early twenties. We knew change was coming, but we didn’t know what the next big thing was going to be, some people thought it would be industrial. If you knew what was up on an underground level, Nirvana was a cool band, I don’t think anyone could predict they would hit as big as they did. Word of mouth was building, my friend had an advance copy of Nevermind and told me wait til you hear it. Alternative was getting bigger, when The Cure headlined Dodger Stadium that told me something, but Nirvana getting huge took a lot of people by surprise, me included

Outstanding review of one of my top ten records. I only count records among my top ten that I’ve become absolutely obsessed by - to the point where I won’t listen to anything else for months. There’s pre-suicide “In Utero” and post-suicide “In Utero for me. Listening to the former took place over many nights under the stars in the Sonoran desert, and the latter during the year I lived in New Hampshire. My perceptions and feelings about the album changed dramatically. “Nevermind” completely blew me away. It’s like I was primed for it my whole life. It was a sound that woke something up in me. After years of hair metal, and then Guns & Roses, 🤮Nirvana was a most-welcome asteroid. It wasn’t just the music (how is it that three-piece bands are often the most powerful?), but the new directions it pushed me in. It led to a personal revolution. Even with the squeaky-clean production, I caught a suicide vibe in “Nevermind” - for me very similar to what I hear in Joy Division. I absolutely love how they turned their fame into complete anarchy and used their platform to bring attention to so many under-the-radar bands that ended up enhancing my musical perspective. If it’s not 100% authentic, I don’t have the time for it. I was living in Seattle during the time. I’d moved up there from California. My wife grew up there, and we were on the periphery of the “grunge” movement. It was a very exciting time and place. The spirit of the thing really took a hit when Mia Zapata was killed. I like that you describe post-Nirvana alternative “rock” as a power vacuum, because it very much was. We’re lucky to get a Kurt Cobain once in a generation. Soundgarden and Alice In Chains put out some respectable stuff for another year or so, but then we got the likes of Bush and Live and Hootie and the f$#%ing Blowfish and it was soooooo depressing. Worse than a garden variety hangover. “In Utero” is possessed by the spirit of duende (a Spanish word used to describe a work of art that is almost unbearable in its intensity - an all-or-nothing gambit that stands in the gap between life and death). It takes a certain fearlessness to go there. It’s what Jim Morrison meant by “Break on Through to the Other Side.” I was utterly devastated by news of Kurt’s death. I wept inconsolably. It was like losing John Lennon all over again. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn’t muster the energy to get off the couch and take a bus to the Seattle Center for the memorial a few days later. After most folks left, Courtney appeared with Frances and a box of Kurt’s clothes and gave them away to the lucky few who were still there (incidentally, Frances was named after Frances Farmer). Obsessing on “In Utero” provoked a back-and-forth in my head about ending my life. Although that obviously didn’t happen, I came to the belief that most people who succeed at suicide are those who truly believe everyone’s life would be better without them. I believe Kurt really thought Frances would be better off without him. THANK YOU for not censoring the f-bombs when calling out those who continue to propagate the “Courtney killed Kurt “ nonsense. You’re right about the callousness. “Grotesquely Beautiful” is an apt descriptor for Nirvana. “Nevermind” watered that down some, but it rages all over “Bleach” and “In Utero.” One interesting tidbit that speaks volumes about who Kurt was as a person and artist: Wal-mart refused to stock “In Utero” unless the words “Rape Me” were removed and the fetus Art blurred out. Rather than take a defiant stance, Kurt readily agreed to these changes, countering cries of “sell-out” by saying that Wal-mart was the only place he could get music growing up in Aberdeen. Kurt hated purists and those who preached only to the choir. (“Rape Me” became “Waif Me” on the Wal-mart cover). Yoko Ono saved John Lennon. Courtney kept Kurt alive longer than he otherwise would have been, according to Danny Goldberg. Albini has a habit of burying vocals in his recordings. I’m glad Kurt was adamant that he not do that. The vocals are at least 50% of what makes “In Utero” so great. Finally, in terms of discussing mental illness: those who do not suffer from it have no idea how lucky they are. Life is hard enough without a shit load of intrusive thoughts. This is our “coming-out” moment, and I’m proud to be a part of the movement. Thank you!

Talking about suicide and mental health is critical and important and should absolutely be addressed more often. The day Kurt died, was the last time I attempted suicide and seeing and feeling the response from Nirvana fans helped open my eyes and pushed me to find help. Please, if you're in a bad place, there are so many people who want to help you -- not just people who can help you, but genuinely want to help you. Thanks again. This was a great video.

It’s strange for me to listen to this album again, after not hearing it for years. When I wanted to hear Nirvana, I tended to reach for Nevermind or Unplugged. It’s almost like I forgot about this record existing. I guess because some of the songs have difficult themes in them, even though I know Heart Shaped Box and All Apologies so well. What’s even more weird is that I been married to my still current husband since 1993. We’ve been together since 1989. When he first heard Heart Shaped Box the only word he could pick out was cancer. So for the longest time he thought the song was about someone dying from cancer. I’m glad you went over this album. I guess another reason I avoided it is because mentally I put it together with Kurt’s death, even though that’s not accurate in any way. I’m glad to pick this music back up again after so long and listen to what it is, and not mix it up with other misremembered things from the past.

Frances Farmer's movie career peaked in the 1930's, though it lasted into the early 1940's. She also had stage roles. During the 1950's, her acting was pretty much limited to television; from 1958 to 1964, she hosted a local TV show in Indianapolis called "Frances Farmer Presents". She died of esophageal cancer in 1970.

You make a good point about how people thought Kurt wasn't suicidal because he "didn't seem like it" to his friends. He was already quiet and repressed, you'd think he would reveal that to people? You think a bunch of punk kids in the 90s could tell? I mean, do people even know how suicidal people act? There's no definite pattern to my knowledge. A lot of people can even seem happier because they don't have to mope about their future in their mind anymore.

That was awesome,Abigail, and also moving. A great start to the season. As a guy currently in EMDR (and so much better for it) your take meant a lot. 2 years ago I was shaking hands with death happily. Was ready to be acquainted! But somehow I managed to find EMDR, read a book called The Body Keeps the Score, got on anti depressants, and 2 years later I’m so much better. We’ll never know what magic we would’ve gotten had Kurt found help (or help found him). Perhaps what we got was enough. Sometimes this world is really too hard for certain spirits… this was really insightful and moving. So thanks… Oh, and on Rape Me, I can’t believe after all these years I never really honed in on ‘…my friend’ cuz I always got hung up on the title alone. So when he sang that contradiction, the oxymoron, I was already perplexed. No one asks to be raped! This doesn’t make sense! But, as you point out, he had this empathy for this very thing. I suppose foreshadowed by Polly. The very act seemed to haunt him. And it should haunt us all. But sometimes it isn’t real enough until it is something you actually brush up against in your own life. Until u actually hear a victims story…. Phew. This one was heavy!

I outgrew nirvana a long time ago. As I grew as a musician, I grew to dislike them. Having relocated to washington state many years ago and in the throes of the nirvana nostalgia cycle, I detest fifty year-old fans who act like "there's no more good music", just as their parents used to say. However, all that is a story for another time. For now, it's important to point out to anyone who thinks nirvana wasn't feminist clearly isn't fan enough to have purchased 'Incesticide' or literate enough to read the insert: "At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us -- leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records." Ms. Devoe, a wonderful video as usual.

John Bradshaw was a therapist who popularized the phrase "inner child" ("love your inner child and admit that your parents could not...") and he came to prominence in the late 80s on Public Television. Alcoholics Anonymous reached heretofore unknown popularity and rockstars, t.v. stars and moviestars were getting sober and attending meetings. The 90s were jam-packed with mental health sources and de-tox was popular. So: I conclude that Kurt had no intelligent, caring friends. He was living in a time where total strangers were helping total strangers both for a fee and for free. Kurt simply didn't have what I call a "friend". I got sober in 1982, a decade before Nevermind. If Kurt had shown up at a meeting he would NOT have been treated like a celebrity and the coffee was free.

My Brother and Sister in laws had a dog also Buddy, he was abused left at the pound. My niece got him back to enjoying life and he was a very sweet dog. He passed away about a year ago, but he had a great life after all. I know your Buddy will always have a good life, enjoy.@@abigaildevoe

Remember listening this album when it just came out. Was depressed at the time, so this was _not_ the album to listen to. Definitely respect this album though. That an album as uncompromising as this sold 6 million copies is a remarkable, great thing.

This album lived large in my young life I was just out of high school and was in deep on this record... or so I though. Your perspective has been so insightful and translates so well with what I recall of those years.

I generally really enjoyed this video, particularly your remarks about the conspiracy theorists, but I do take issue with your comments on Kurt's relationship with fame. Kurt wanted better distribution of NIRVANA's records than a label like Sub Pop could provide at the time, and DGC was Sonic Youth's label. He anticipated expanding NIRVANA's following to about the size of theirs, and in '90-'91, he was curious about how far his music could go if he trusted his melodic instincts. DGC only initially pressed 46,521 copies of Nevermind, and they figured that at best it would eventually sell 200,000. Jonathan Poneman, the co-owner of Sub Pop, had commented, "They're going to be bigger than the Beatles," but Kurt never seriously desired that level of recognition. NIRVANA got pretty close to that reception, though, and Kurt ended up with a bunch of people in his audience that he couldn't stand. The fame was a major stressor, and its effects on his demeanor and drug use were copiously documented in friends' oral accounts and Kurt's private writings. I suggest reviewing the original liner notes to Incesticide, which include a letter to the fans explaining what he values and who is unwelcome in his audience. By '93, he'd lost his passion for live performances and resorted to disguising himself when he went out. If you know about indie rock and bands that come from that ethos, they're about the art and making genuine connections through music. Kurt identified with those types of bands in part because of their values; like them, he felt that there's something more valuable than money at stake when you make art for a living. If you create something that's an extension of yourself and you lose control of it, then that results in a sense of alienation from your own identity, which is psychologically deleterious. The idea of Kurt's dark-and-disturbed image being self-contrived is absurd because his sense of humor is on full display in numerous interviews, the very interviews in which he also bemoaned the reductive characterization of himself that was already creating a false narrative. Kurt did not anticipate the massive success of Nevermind, and while he _did_ harbor _some_ desire for recognition, the tidal wave of fame that came with that album's release threw him for a loop, something from which he never recovered. The image of himself that he saw reflected in the media for the last 2.5 years of his life was someone he didn't recognize, and he hated that such a distortion was many people's perception of him. Believing that Kurt sincerely wanted superstardom necessitates believing that he was quite naive about the downsides of fame, which, as something of a rock scholar himself, he could not be. Dave Grohl has repeatedly said that Kurt was never more content than when they were sharing a cruddy apartment in Olympia, and I have no reason to doubt that.

Fun fact about the initial vinyl release of this album- it came out a week before the cd and cassette version. I have a limited edition colored vinyl of this. Maybe its me romantizing the past but i connected to this album more so than any other because it helped me through a dark period in my life. Even now i still spin this and remember how i felt when first hearing it. It still holds up more than their other releases in my opinion. Spot on review and love the hot take towards 25 min point. The conspiracies surrounding kurts death are insufferable and i find myself getting just as angry...cheers

Awesome episode, Abby. I always thought of In Utero as the ultimate contrast of melodic & chaotic. Milk It is a huge favorite. My girlfriend & I gasped in unison when we saw next week's album. We looked at each other & exclaimed, "Dead Daddy Horsehead!" LOL. That double album desperately needed Richard Wright on keyboards. Speaking of Richard, I have Wet Dream on preorder. It's more Pink Floyd than anything Roger's done.

There’s a theory that the reason why Bean had such a strain relationship with Courtney because she believed that Courtney was responsible for her death. Honestly, thinking about this now, this really don’t make any sense because Bean was 2 years old at the time Kurt died, so she would’ve been way too young to even realize what the hell was even going on. Plus i think it’s super fucked up to even involve her in this anyway. Like it’s already traumatizing to deal with the death of a love one. Imagine how traumatizing it must be to hear false accusation that your own mother killed your father.

It's a rainy Monday here in NH and Mondays are hard to begin with, but your point about suicide definitely struck a nerve and made me tear up a bit. Though I remember when Kurt died, I was never a big enough fan of Nirvana to weigh in too heavily on the did he/didn't he debate. I have friends who are convinced he didn't. I have a former classmate who did and two former bandmates who did. The bandmates both reached out to me just before and I wasn't receptive enough see what was in their eyes or their words. The classmate had once written in my yearbook, "Don't do anything I would do." I can look back now on the details of what was going on for each of them and feel like I have some understanding of where they must've been at, but everyone deals with their pain differently and some mask it far better than others. Thank you for your brief moment of honesty and vulnerability.

Wonderful video, and your comment on the tin foil-hatted conspiracy theorists is painfully spot on. Also, huge respect for giving Krist his bass-playing props. He was the Paul McCartney of alternative rock and Nirvana's songs would not be as full-bodied without his amazing basslines. My favourite Nirvana song would be either Heart-Shaped Box, Sappy, Oh The Guilt or Dumb. Favourite cover: D-7. Favourite live track: All apologies live at Reading 1992.

I was in college when Nirvana broke. A lot my friends and I felt like Nirvana's success was punk FINALLY getting its due in America. We never had our Sex Pistols moment in this country like they did in the U.K.. Punk at the time never really made it into popular American consciousness except on daytime talk shows parading strangely dressed kids for shock value. It also marked the death knell of the hair metal bands of the late 80's which my friends and I all celebrated! Just wanted to point out two things also. I was HUGE fan of Kurdt Cobaine however Kurdt and Courtney BOTH based their beliefs about Frances Farmer on a now largely discredited biography of her. This is what the movie "Frances" was based on. There is a video of Kurdt saying how Frances was routinely raped in a mental hospital. This came from the discredited book as well as the story of her so called lobotomy. The podcast "You Must Remember This" did an episode on Frances Farmer and goes into detail about this. It's a great podcast BTW. Also we partially have Castro to blame for Mia Zapata's murder. During the Mariel Boatlift Castro sent hundreds of hardened criminals to the U.S. One of them ended up murdering Mia Zapata. Police were not at fault in initially not finding her killer. The man was a complete stranger to Mia so there was little for them to work with. I'm thankful he was finally caught though. The break in the case came when the suspect was entered in the DNA database in the 2000's from another crime. I was also a fan of the Gits music.
