So which one is it, I have gone for Nevermind, great, great album on a whole this. I don't just like it for SLTS either, there are plenty of great tunes on here like for example Polly, Lithium, Come As You Are and Territorial Pissings. Other great tracks apart from these of course, I actually don't think there is a bad track on this album.

I also like The Muddy Banks Album aswell even though it was just a live album.

Sorry for the lack of albums on the list, I know there was more live albums and comps than this. But I think I have got all the official ones in there. If I have missed your favourite just click other and tell us about it below. ;)

I voted for Incesticide by mistake
My favorite is In Utero

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter being the best song on it

In Utero takes it by a landslide for me. The fact that anyone ever viewed this as a disappointment... sheesh.

Unplugged is the only one I've listened to for years.

They all have their charms.

Bleach-- great, plodding, retardo-rock (School, Negative Creep) mixed with excellent tunesmithery (About a Girl). Very heavy, and heads above all the contempos from their neck of the woods bar Melvins, who were most influential on this one.

Nevermind-- one of the great albums of Cobain's generation. Still holds up even in view of all the crap that sprung up in its wake. Yes it ushered in a lot of crap, but it's a powerful record full of deeply sunk hooks and actual emotion.

Incesticide-- amazingly entertaining collection of stray tracks. One good song after another, even if some, by their nature as comp tracks and b sides are on the goofy side.

In Utero-- I am afraid I am part of the "disapponted" contingent here. BUT, I do not own this one and after 10 years of not really listening to it, I most definitely need to reassess it. It does have some great songs (not the least of which is the gorgeous All Apologies), but as I recall it, it suffered from some of the band's worldweariness. I don't believe the more poppy "hit-potential" songs here are as strong as those on Nevermind.

Nirvana made some great singles too. Sliver/Dive is one of the best singles ever, and the songs they stuck on b-sides from In Utero like Marigold are among their finest achievements.

I went back to it after about 10 years and I was stunned at how good it was. Maybe I listened to it with more "educated ears" or maybe I was just in a better listening mood but WOW!!! :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Give it a LOUD go Gorillabat, you know you need to. :D

In Utero. The only thing about it that dissapointed me was its unfulfilled promise. By this I mean that, everytime I give it a listen, I hear not only the finest Nirvana LP, but an even better one just around the corner. I feel Cobain really found the "voice" he was looking for with this album. Would've been interesting to see where he went with it...

In Utero easily. I might have listened to this album more than any other (though Hex is quickly gaining ground)

I'm convinced. First used/cheap copy of In Utero I find bygod I'll...

I'd like to hear the original Albini produced In Utero. Would have been more uncompromisingy than the "commercial" version which got released.

bleach everytime for me
then in utero

Never got the point.

I liked them but I thought they were vastly overrated. Maybe it's the whole "thing" that surrounds them..may have put me off a little.

I do agree they were overrated. Very good band, but yes.

I think there is a bootleg of it going about... Dont have it tho, not heard it... But apparently Heart Shaped Box is crap as it has a huge feedback noisetrumental bit right in the middle... or something... :unsure:

Totally agree with you. At some point they were bound to break away from standard song structures & etc., and that is when they would have really earned their praise. Of course, the praise would have died down by then, but nonetheless...

So, I didn't vote, 'cause my vote is for the album they never made.

It´s probably impossible to not be overrated when getting the kind of hype they got there for a few years.

I like several of the bands that were lumped together as "grunge", as different as they were... but I still think that Nirvana were something else, something unique, and not really connected with "metal" at all.

All three "proper" albums have aged amazingly well. Hard to pick any of them, but I went for Nevermind. I remember how relieving it was when it hit the charts and angry guitar music suddenly was "in" for a few years.

I answered In Utero, expecting to be in the minority. I thought everyone would go for Bleach. But Bleach is too derivative, really, though superior in some ways to Nevermind, though Nevermind gets played more because there's more light and air in it. Actually, Nevermind is a great pop album, but In Utero is a great rock album.

In Utero without question. It's the only Nirvana disk I'd prepared to spend any time with now. I like the balance and contrast on that album. I was one of those disappointed with Nevermind.
