Nirvana - The Teen Spirit of Rock

Nirvana was the band that defined a generation--and its recordings continue to influence contemporary musicians and music lovers. Spawned in the intensely fertile Seattle grunge scene that blossomed in the late 1980s, it instantly distinguished itself from its peers through the singular passion of its leader, Kurt Cobain. Renowned music journalist Gillian G. Gaar explores Nirvana's unique status through song lyrics and interviews with the group members and their friends and colleagues. Look back at the early years, read reviews of their first recordings and seminal albums, and view remarkable images of handwritten set lists, tour posters and itineraries, VIP backstage passes, limited-edition album covers, and rare family photos.
