What are the best and worst songs off every Nirvana album? Let's discuss. Nirvana have one of the more storied yet brief careers in the rock world. It started with a mostly overlooked album in Bleach that showed the promise of what was to come. Their 1991 set Nevermind managed to flip the music world on its ear, making alternative mainstream overnight and officially kicking off "grunge" as the new dominant form of rock. Then came In Utero, an album that's still quite remarkable despite the unreal expectations that band was facing at the time.
