Drum roll please... In at number one on The Soul Kitchen's Nevermind 20th anniversary Song of The Day countdown is the final single from the album, 'In Bloom'. A perfect example of the loud-quiet technique Nirvana used on Nevermind, the song takes aim at those who didn't understand Nirvana or their music, with the lyrics...
"He’s the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means
when I say"
Equally as anthemic as 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' if not as culturally significant, 'In Bloom' is a song in possession of everything that made Nirvana the greatest American band of their generation. There's the anger, the humour, the chaos, the 'fuck you' attitude to their detractors and the gloriously insane Butch Vig produced raw power of it all.
So, without further adieu, here are three fine young men from Seattle. They're thoroughly alright and decent fellas with their hit single 'In Bloom'. Here they are.... Nirvana!
Nirvana - In Bloom
Until next time,
Keep on Keepin' on,
