Nirvana's Nevermind brought about a seismic shift in the musical landscape on release in September 1991. From the music, the attitude, and the fashion surrounding the grunge era, things would never be the same again. We discuss it all, along with the lead up to the record, the recording and production, the reaction on release, as well as taking a deep dive into the songs that made this one of the best selling albums of all time. Will our ratings match its popularity?

With so much to talk about and a new voice joining us on the podcast - our dear friend Simon - we forego our normal comprehensive round-up of what was happening in the UK around the time of release, for a much truncacted look at the album and singles charts, featuring Jason Donovan, Paul Young, Dire Straits, Gun N' Roses, Rozalla, and Bryan Adams.

A massive thanks to EVERYONE who replied to our thread on the Reddit Nirvana sub-forum about the album. We read a number of the brilliant comments out during the podcast, but you can view them in full here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nirvana/comments/14np5k9/nevermind_was_this_an_album_that_changed_your_life/

Our Top 3's for this episode feature songs with the slacker mentatlity. Songs that say 'I don't give a sh*t' and stick their middle finger up to the world.

Shout-out to the fantastic 'Now That's What I call Bullsh*t' podcast which Kate and I recorded an episode for this week. It should be published by the end of July. We chose 'Now That's What I call Music 14' from 1989 to chat about. Massive thanks to hosts Kathryn and Dan Donnelly for having us.
