A rock band coming from Aberdeen, Washington -- not [[Seattle]], as is commonly assumed, though Seattle is where they first hit it big -- up in the [[The Other Rainforest|Pacific Northwest]], Nirvana became the breakthrough in alternative rock with their smash hit album ''Nevermind'' in the early [[The Nineties|1990s]]. The trio of [[Kurt Cobain]] (guitar, lead singer, lead songwriter), Krist Novoselic (bass) and [[Dave Grohl]] (drums) would become the face of the [[Grunge]] movement of the '90s; the group is most well known for the songs "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come As You Are", "Heart Shaped Box", and "You Know You're Right". Nirvana was one of the first bands many people of the current generation got into, and thus, their music is often considered to be in the upper echelons of influential rock music. Even after [[Too Good to Last|the death]] of Cobain, the band still continued to remain popular, releasing many compilation albums. After the group split up, drummer Dave Grohl formed the band known as the [[Foo Fighters]], who have gone on to be one of the most respected and successful alternative rock bands in history. |
