About this listen

In 1991, three scruffy guys from Seattle dropped an album that killed hair metal, dethroned Michael Jackson, and made “grunge” the word of the decade. Nevermind is loud, messy, surprisingly melodic, and responsible for about 10,000 terrible high school “Teen Spirit” covers.
In this episode, I go track by track: from the underwater baby chasing a dollar on the cover, to the anthem that launched a generation, to the creepy quiet of “Polly,” and the noise apocalypse of the hidden track “Endless, Nameless.” Along the way, we’ll hit Grohl’s bone-crushing drums, Kurt’s throat-shredding screams, Krist’s bass lines that may have inspired The Offspring, and a few moments where the band just… copied and pasted the whole song.
It’s flannel, distortion, irony, and angst all bottled up into one of the most important rock albums ever made. Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

Warning: if you request Nickelback, I might actually do it!
