There are multiple artists tracked as “Nirvana” on Last.fm. Following are eight, listed in order of prominence:
1) Nirvana was a popular and highly influential American grunge band. The band formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987, and was part of the Seattle grunge scene of the late 80s. Other Seattle grunge bands such as Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden also gained in popularity, and, as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on American and Canadian radio and music television during the early-to-mid ’90s.
Nirvana’s initial incarnation consisted of Kurt Cobain on guitar and vocals, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Chad Channing. After a brief stint as a four-piece in 1989 with the addition of second guitarist Jason Everman, followed soon after by the replacement of Channing on drums in 1990, the band found the lineup that would form the core of the group when they added former Scream drummer Dave Grohl.
As Nirvana’s frontman, Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the “spokesman of a generation”, with Nirvana the “flagship band” of “Generation X”. Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention, and placed his focus on the band’s music, challenging the band’s audience with their much more abrasive third studio album In Utero, considered to be a conscious attempt to shed their audience. While Nirvana’s mainstream popularity waned in the months following its release, their core audience cherished the band’s dark interior, particularly after their 1993 performance on MTV Unplugged with the Meat Puppets, a band that Cobain had always idolised, performing with them the songsOh, Me, Plateau and Lake Of Fire.

Их музыка вызывает лично у меня разные чувства.Назову самые известные.Например смелс лайк тин спирит-заставляет ступнями выбивать бетонный пол под собой,ин блум при игре просто хочется вырвать струны,особенно соло,ком ас ю а и хёрт бокс ничто настраивающие внутреннего духа,турет заставляет рвать глотку,территориал писинг метатся хаотично по комнате и т.п. Много энергии в их песнях, не удивлюсь если им сам сатана помогал песни писать.

Ну так они же слушают смелс лайк тин спирит,рип ми и человек который захватил мир.Специально интересовался у некоторых таких девочек какие у них любимые песни у нирваны почти все эти говорили,не думаю что им понравился гранж,согласен,турет им точно не понравился,зато это и есть гранж.А вот невермайд вышел попсовыл из-за этого почти весь набор им по душе.Не думаю что блич,кроме абаут гёрл педовках по душе.Им лишь бы грустные мелодии, а перевод врятли знаю.

Лол, да и малолетние педовки не стали бы слушать настоящий гранж, йобта.

Думаю немалая часть да,но у нирваны есть на ранних стадия творчества истинный гранж.

наверно реально ближе к поп гранжу

Dezomorphine,Курт старался сделать нирвану не похожей на поп,это даже говорилось в док.фильму про nevermind,думаю известно,что они специально удваивали для усиления звука.

tremorr, возможно, но в целом - поп гранж.
