Much has already been said about this album, the enormous impact it has had on pop culture, and how it turned one band into what everyone wants to be: famous. Now, I've listen to this album a few times, since I only got it for Christmas this year. But I gotta say, 15 years later, I was just as drawn into it as everyone else. "Smells Like" the most famous song off the album, and Nirvana's signature song, had as much effect on me as it did to teens back in '92. But to me, it wasn't my favourite song(at least now in retrospect). I loved the song "Polly, Territorial Pissings, Something in the Way", all different songs, but to me, these were the better songs, the ones with deeper meaning. Later on, I got into the big gun songs, like "Come as you are, Lithium, and In Bloom", key tracks that everyone should listen to, regardless if you know anything about Nirvana, or you even like them. Because 15 years later, these songs still have an amazing effect on me, and they have stood the test of time, and unlike "Smells Like", they haven't been played to death, and people still tend to enjoy them, because this album is an album everyone can get, whether you dig punk, metal, pop, rock, it doesn't matter. "Nevermind" is a landslide, and even though people know this, from a guy who was just a baby when Nirvana was huge, that's saying something.
