Nirvana – Bleach
WE'RE NOW STREAMING LIVE ON TWITCH! Care to follow along and chat with us live while we tape our episodes? Head to https://www.twitch.tv/lightthesky to Follow and Turn on Notifications for whenever we go live to get in on the action. DISCLAIMER, we apologize for no audio during the song clips sections. Twitch has strict copyright claims and we cannot play music live on the show but feel free to follow along with us as Kevin includes the time stamps before playing each song clip.
Beginning our SIXTH band's full studio album discography review, we've decided to head to the Pacific Northwest to cover one of, if not THE, most influential grunge bands of all time... NIRVANA. A band that, prior to recording this episode, seemed to be split fanwise amongst the Light the Sky team (has Mark mentioned that he's not a fan of 90s music yet?) We're looking forward to digesting Nirvana's story and their recorded studio album output (sorry, no live albums or compilation albums right now) to see if they deserve the legendary status that they hold today.
Episode 67 covers Nirvana's first full length studio album, 1989's Bleach (FYI we're only covering the initial 11 track 1st press LP track listing). Bleach had sold 40,000 copies in North America before the release of Nevermind. It has since been certified platinum by the RIAA and has sold more than 1.9 million copies in the United States alone.[12] It is Sub Pop's best-selling album to date and is unlikely to be surpassed by competitors.[13] Frontman Kurt Cobain's death in April 1994 also led to a resurgence in the album's popularity, reaching number one on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart.[14] In April 2019, Bleach was ranked No. 13 on Rolling Stone's 50 Greatest Grunge Albums list. Mark, Kevin, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this album as well as share personal stories of discovering Nirvana's Bleach. Tune in next week for Episode 68 where we cover Nirvana's second, and landmark studio album, Nevermind.
