Bringing grunge to the forefront, Nirvana's Nevermind album did wonders for rock music of the late '80s and early '90s. Featuring what would remain as some of Nirvana's best songs, Nevermind has truly stood the test of time. Garnering praise from rock stars and music fans alike for decades, it could be considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Perhaps the root of its success lied within the new take on rock Kurt Cobain and Nirvana brought to the table. Despite not receiving many reviews initially, the hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit" soon gave critics and fans plenty to talk about, as did the rest of the Nevermind album. 

Aside from the popular hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Nevermind boasts numerous great tracks like "In Bloom", "Come as Your Are", and "Lithium". Each of these tracks have become mainstays of grunge and rock music in general, influencing bands everywhere. Of course, these aren't the only tracks on the album worth mentioning.
