Nirvana’s Nevermind was released 20 years ago this weekend. Man I feel old.
I never heard Bleach prior to Nevermind’s release, being pretty young / on the wrong side of the world. I first heard Nevermind when I was 14, it must have been late 1991. Prior to that my musical tastes varied mainly between mainstream radio friendly pop, and older stuff my parents listened to (The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkle, Chris de Burgh ...)
We had some distant relatives from the US staying with us, I came home one day and this music was playing – Nirvana’s Nevermind, my American uncle had brought along a copy on cassette tape. I was fascinated, this music spoke to me. Totally changed my musical tastes and opened me up to a whole world of music I had never before explored.

Some 21-year old is walking around saying "I was on the cover of that album. Haven't seen that dollar since."
