Grunge band from Arberdeen, WA made up by Kurt Cobain (guitar/vocals) Novoselic (bass), and Dave Ghrol (drums). Chad Channing played drums for the first album Bleach but left. Nirvana brought grunge out of Washington, thus killing the mainstream like of metal.
Nirvana is most known for the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the album Nevermind. FYI, both of these songs sucked, a lot. Most people do not know what Nirvana is, they probably only know what plays on KROQ, most likely Teen Spirit, All Apologies, Polly, Heart Shaped Box, and Come as You Are. These are terrible songs. Listen to the albums Bleach, Incesticide, In Utero, and the With the Lights out Collection. They are way better than what you hear on the radio.
The band ended in 1994 due to Kurt Cobain's death. Most people, often haters and stupid people, say Kurt Cobain was stupid and killed himself. But, he had 1.52mg per liter of heroin in his blood when he was dead, 3 times the amount to kill even the strongest addicts. That would have instantly incapacitated or killed Kurt. He could not have pulled the trigger. So shut the fuck up all you people who say he killed himself, its impossible. And if you didn't know, at the time, forensics was not as good as it is now, and a sloppy job was done on his investigation. Also, Courtney Love tried to have the man who re-opened the Cobain case fired, oh gee I wonder why.
Nirvana was the best grunge band to exist, and they, alone, killed metal. Unfortunately, after grunge died, music changed to Blink style bands, then AAR bands, then to emo and xcore crap.

Someone please be inspired by Nirvana's less heard albums, then go play grunge music and bring the world out of this sad, pathetic attempt to immitate rock. Xcore needs to be banned, but that can't happen due to the gay ass ammendments, so please please, somebody stop this bullshit going on.

Get the Nirvana mug.Nirvana is actually a word used in Buddhsm that means a state of bliss and tranquility. The band Nirvana, started off in Washington in 1987, but ended on April 5th, 1994, when the lead singer, Kurt Cobain, was killed. Rumor has it that it was a planned murder by his wife Courtney Love, considering that his suicide note was not in his handwritting and he had way too much heroin in his system to use a gun correctly. Plus the gun was wiped clean of all fingerprints. How would a dead guy do that? God Bless Kurt Cobain.
Nirvana is the best band ever created, and who would of thought they would be catagorized as "grundge".

Get the nirvana mug.One of the most ovverated bands ever. they suck. get over it. They were put out by MTV as just another fad. Everyone who says Kurt No-Brain was a good guitar player should shut their fuckin' mouths and go listen to Yngwie. their sound was not helped by No-brain's so-called "singing", which was actually a drunken moan. they provided half of the influence for mallcore(the other half being rap). The only musician among them was Dave Grohl. although most nirvana fans will agree when I say that Courtney love should BURN IN HELL!!!!

Nirvana sucks. Kurt Cobain is not a hero, he was just a depressed drug addict who liked to moan about his life.

Get the nirvana mug.1: A state of religious bliss that is held in belief by Indian religions.
2: A band that was quite good, but is terribly overrated. The lead singer, Kurt Cobain is often undeservingly held in the same esteem as Hendrix, Clapton and Jesus in regards to greatness. Cobain eventually proceeded to stick a shotgun in his mouth and blow his head off after becoming amazingly popular and wealthy.

Get the nirvana mug.Nirvana is, like it or not, one if not the greatest and most influential bands of all time. To those who disagree, firstly listen to them, and feel the awesome power of Kurts uncanny knack for writing powerful and meaningful songs. listen to how his vocals change from smooth, to screeching in an instant. listen to the hook in the music of the song, especially the underlying bass (provided by krist novoselic. Then listen to some of the earlier acoustic songs (e.g early acoustic of lithium, and then final produced product) and see how kurt started out with a great song, and made it superb. after listening then do some resaerch into how nirvana changed the face of music for the better.
Kurt and good music went hand in hand. it was impossible for him to write something that turned out crap. Nirvanas lesser known and unrecorded music was/is better than most music made. And is definitely better than rap/pop/poppunk/talentless sonwriters/radio is gay.
Listen to nirvana and then you may too have eternal happiness. It is then end Nothing cannot be anything better than nirvana, and those who enjoy crpa music just cant undertand that.
To those who know of nirvanas greatness. continue to listen.

Anuerysm is one of nirvanas greatest songs yet it does not make their best of album. why is this so? because every nirvana song is a musical masterpiece and a gem.
Floyd the barber is highly underrated, if ur a fan dpnt miss out on it
