THIS IS THE THIRD BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE

ARTIST - NIRVANA
ALBUM - BLEACH
SONG - ABOUT A GIRL
DATE - OCTOBER 1994
STATUS ACQUIRED


Actually "Bleach" came out in 1988 and sold relatively well for a Sub Pop release, but it didn't garner wide spread exposure until after Coabain's death. His suicide led to a wide spread search for any additional Nirvana material.

"Bleach" is a great album. Nowhere near as good as "Nevermind" and "In Utero" but even if those albums hadn't come out Nirvana could have been proud of the work they'd done. For the most part it sounds like Nirvana, but its clear Cobain grew a great deal as song writer between recording "Bleach" and "Nevermind". That being said, "About A Girl" sounds a lot like "Nevermind"; much more so than other songs on the album. The similarity actually highlights the difference between Dave Grohl brought to the band for "Nevermind". Great Cut
