This week we’re discussing every album by Nirvana. This is probably the biggest band we’ve covered on the show yet, and thus needs very little introduction. However, in case you spent the last 30 years living in North Korea, Nirvana is the band who broke grunge into mainstream, inspired millions of musicians, and never made a bad record.

Closing track: “Wait a Minute” from Is This Real? (1980)
