Nevermind
Nirvana
I totally forgot something in the way was on this one - I remember hearing that apparently when they were recording this Cobain just kept asking that the vocal be made quieter and quieter until it was barely audible. I really like the range between smells like teen spirit and something in the way.
It goes a bit too grungey in the middle for me though.
