Below, Against Me!
Nevermindliterally changed my life.
That to me is the Nirvana connection.

And then they played Smells Like Teen Spirit, and that was justsodifferent than anything else on there.
At first it was hard to even understand it: Do I like this?Whydo I like this?
It was just so hard to take sandwiched between all those other things.
And buying that record?
Everyone knows how to play the riff for Come As You Are.
Everyone knows how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit and Polly.
I can pick up a guitar and from memory still play those chords and those songs.
It is a different experience when you take away the visuals.
you’re able to really hear it when you listen to it.
You know there couldnt have been anything after that album that had as big of an impact asNevermind.
That record changed the face of music in a way that will probably never be done again.
