Our Pick of the Year: Nevermind by Nirvana
Nevermind brought grunge to a global audience without losing the tension between melody and noise. Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come as You Are and Lithium use simple structures, but Kurt Cobain's writing and the band's dynamics made them feel unstable. The album changed what mainstream rock radio and record labels looked for during the 1990s.
