The delirious success of the film (2 million admissions in ten days in France) has brought the music of the Seattle trio back into fashion. A little throwback to thirty years ago with our playlist.
1. About a girl
–
With his first album, Bleach (1989), Nirvana did not conquer the world. The trio was not ready yet. But on some titles, like About a girlthe Kurt Cobain band was already showing its ability to write memorable songs.

2. Smells like teen spirit
–
This is where everything changes. In September 1991, Nirvana published the huge Nevermind. An album that buries everything that came before – the synthetic sound of the 80s, hard-rock then fashionable – and launches a new era and an ephemeral fashion: grunge.

But despite the passage of time, Nevermind remains an essential record, an indelible musical marker. The album will also be reissued on May 27, in a huge box set of eight vinyls, with many bonus concerts.
3. Come as you are

An extract of Nevermind as effective as an advertising slogan…
4. Heart-shaped box
–
With In the Uterus, in 1993, Nirvana took everyone by surprise. He could have made his music more accessible, but takes the opposite path. The album is more abrasive and frightens less motivated fans.

5. Rape me
–
With this very controversial single, Nirvana voluntarily parodies itself. The starting riff is exactly the same as that of Smells like teen spirit.
6. Where did you sleep last night
–
With the album MTV Unplugged, Nirvana shows a more sensitive facet of his music. With, again, a huge success at the key. This cover of Leadbelly served as an eye-opener for a whole generation.
Fifty years ago (and some dust), Black Sabbath invented heavy-metal
7. The Man who sold the world
–
When David Bowie released this song in 1970, no one listened to it. Two decades later, Nirvana turned it into a massive hit.
