A radio station has been running tributes all Saturday and this morning.
Probably my favourite album ever.

    25! Oh that makes me feel old!
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Was waiting for someone on here to say that. Easily my favorite album of all time. Like it or not, Nevermind changed the course of music history. It's one of two albums where, even at 11 years old, i can remember where I was the first time I heard it. As Eddie said "I don't think any of us would be here right now if it wasn't for Kurt Cobain." Truth. Top 3 all time album no question.

    Still highly enjoy this album. From beginning to end, every song is excellent. It's the only Nirvana album I enjoy these days; can't even remotely tolerate anything else in their catalog anymore.

    Great picture making the rounds of the cover shot recreated with the baby all grown up I.e. The same kid 25 years later

    Perfect album.

    But I rather listen to In Utero.

    I was late to the party with Nirvana. Didn't get Nevermind until early 99 in my senior year of high school. I actually purchased it with Celeb Skin by Hole at Target at the same time. I got In Utero 4 years later. Is IU better? Yes. Does the album suck? Hell ho! I prefer side 2 since it has the songs that I wasn't familiar with over and over. On A Plain is my favorite and probably their most Beatle esque.

    Happy Silver Nevermind.

    Great record - was more blown away by In Utero when it came out though.

    Yeah In Utero was the album that got me really into Nevermind, more specifically Heart Shaped Box. Saw the video for that and thought it was awesome. Nevermind is really good also. Love "In Bloom" (especially the video for it), Breed, Drain You, and Something in the Way
