Nevermind 20th anniversary

Yesterday the 24th of September was the 20th anniversary of the epic Nirvana album "Nevermind". The album was released in 1991 September 24th, since then the album has been a huge success. The band members were in total shock and awe when their album soared to the top of the charts having no idea it was going to become as popular as it did, and it is still popular today. To my amazement there were many rock stations commemorating the album and playing more Nirvana songs. Music is one of few things that can definitely stand the test of time.
The band originated in a suburb of Seattle, Washington called Aberdeen. Originally consisting of three members Lead vocalist/guitarist Kurt Cobain, Bassist Chris Novoselic and drummer Chad Channing. Nevermind was recorded with a new drummer after the bands debut album "Bleach". The second drummer Dave Grohl a lot of people know today as the lead vocalist/guitarist of the band The Foo Fighters.
The Main hit single off the album "Smells Like Teen Spirit" changed the tone of the mainstream airways at the time. The name of the song is actually a spinoff of a deodorant brand called Teen Spirit. The whole album is full of an unmistakable sound and raw teenage angst which partly contributes to the albums popularity as the punk/grunge theme and attitude was extremely prevalent during the 90's. Other songs like "In Bloom", "Come As You Are", "Lithium", "Polly" and "Something In The Way" were very popular and are stilled played on the radio. My personal favorite song off "Nevermind" would have to be "Lounge Act" which features a pumping introductory bass solo. The songs defines the album in my opinion by telling a story that expresses screaming teenage angst. Post your favorite aspects and thoughts of "Nemermind" Listen to the album in your free time if you enjoy this type of music, the tempo is mainly fast with heavy power chords and wanders through confused teenage thoughts full of insecurity and pure expression.

Introducing The Beatles!!!

The Beatles are inarguably the best band never mind rock band that did ever exist. Their music and legacy created by that music lives on and always will. I Grew up listening to the Beatles and as a kid in the early 2000's chances were that you were the only kid listening to The Beatles. The amount of musicians and bands that were influenced by The Beatles is countless. If you were to ask most of the rock stars alive today their major influences I would bet that most if not all of them would say without hesitation The Beatles! The sheer musical ability of the band was almost unbelievable and the Lennon-McCartney writing team is easily still the best the world has ever seen.

I am not claiming I know everything there is to know about the band or all rock bands in general although I do know quite a lot. To talk about the Beatles is like talking about the sea or space. The four man band from liverpool england surprised the world after arriving to america in the early 1960's and to their break up in 1970 they mad so much music and accomplished more than any other artist. Their history and musical library is vast and nearly endless, so instead of taking it from me I would strongly advise anyone that hasn't listened to them, has only heard a few hits on the radio or thinks they're overrated to get of your high horse and listen to an album or two and get back to me. I would suggest from their earlier albums Rubber Soul which is when they broke out of their poppy shell, and from their somewhat later music The Beatles (White Album). Those two albums are their two best in my eyes.
