What is your Favourite Nirvana Album

_blank_

Inspired by the favourite Metallica Album Thread...and in the light that Kurt Cobains anniversary has just passed, what is your favourite Nirvana Album?

ARGINITE

Bleach.

chewy

i'd vote for that but i don't think it can rated along side the others, it a differnt kind of project

Fuhrio

i gotta say unplugged cos they really proved they could do more then just heavy grunge in that concert.

Kurdt

bleach.

though my favourite song is aneurysm...

loismustdie

bleach and unplugged are in a league of their own, aside from that in utero or incesticiede, althought the unreleased stuff would make an amazing compilation

Sauron

Its unplugged for me tbh

hippu

i dont understand why people like unplugged so much, plus its kinda cheating cos its a live album so its like a compilation, the songs arent put together as a single work

Breen

Nevermind.

scree

Nevermind

Liquorice

Incesticide. It has a punkier edge than the others. Although, like Unplugged and The Muddy Banks..., it's not exactly an album as such.

Scratch Acid

Bleach is flawless apart from big cheese.

byte

Bleach. Closely followed by Nevermind.

the cat

Bleach.

pyure

nice to see bleach, as the only real 'grunge' album, getting the recognition it deserves.

i cant pick a single favourite album.
they're all great, just depends on my mood.

gucci

yeah bleach is class for the rawness of it,but unplugged is like proving that they are really special

Third_Echelon

studio album would have to be Nevermind... it has the classics...

i really like the unplugged album as well.. you can listen to it over and over again and it never gets old or boring....

Kersh

Nevermind.

begbie

I'll have to say Nevermind. Although, it is the only album of theirs i've heard. Well, i have Incesticide, but thats a b-sides collection really.

Sefrian

Bleach

Executive Steve

bleach was the sound of young potential.

nevermind was the sound of realised potential.

in utero was the sound of growing maturity

and then the silly bugger goes and shoots himself.

the live albums are both great, prefer unplugged obviously, never heard incesticide so cant comment.

nevermind is my favourite, smells like teen spirit had all the raw energy of a rave tune from those heady early nineties days... its a shame theyve been so elvisified, often look at kids in nirvana t-shirts and wonder if they were walking yet when bleach came out :rolleyes:

Bleach... Because it is better than the other ones.

"Bleach" is an absolutely awesome record for a band who were starting out and had such a small budget (perhaps that worked in its favour). It must be one of the biggest underground hits ever.

"Nevermind" gets all the plaudits and rightly so, but "In Utero", had it not been overshadowed by Kurt's demise, might have grown to be a classic. The opening five songs are absolutely amazing.

Nevermind

I often get the impression that people are afraid to say the biggest selling or best known album is the best because it sounds cliché or because it doesn't give the person that says it as much of an air of authority. (Before anyone says it I have all of their albums and a huge file of rarities so I do know their work very well) I think Nevermind is their most complete work .I know Teen Spirit isn't the best song ever written but it still sounds hard well over ten years on - and that's quite an accomplishment. My favourite single is You Know You're Right. I'd love to have seen where the band would have gone if Kurt hadn't ended it - and if that final single was anything to go by, they would have surpassed themselves in redefining grunge, in my opinion. Also they may have built on what they introduced with the Unplugged album (which I love can't really compare it to the others as (1) its a live album and (2) the best songs on it are by Bowie, the meat Puppets and Leadbelly)
