Eternity of grunge. A classic by Nirvana (NIRVANA)

Let me introduce some songs by Nirvana, the very definition of grunge rock.

As the band of Kurt Cobain—who, despite his musical success, struggled deeply and died young—they have become an icon of alternative rock worldwide.

Although he passed away in 1994, many artists still cover their songs to this day.

There are countless aspects to their appeal, but surely the greatest is Kurt Cobain’s voice.

Please take this article as an opportunity to once again experience the allure of Nirvana, the band that revolutionized the rock scene.
