Nirvana's Nevermind is now 25 years old

The release of Nevermind went swimmingly well for Nirvana – (from left) Dave Grohl, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic – back in 1991.

A quarter of a century ago, a certain scruffy-looking rock musician named Kurt Cobain first sang – no, yelled those words in a song called Smells Like Teen Spirit, and boy were we entertained.

Nirvana – Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl (you may have heard of him as the current frontman of a little band called Foo Fighters) – launched its seminal album Nevermind 25 years ago, and it was an album that completely changed the course of rock history.
