It is not often I think how old an album is; to me a great album just is<\/em> whether it is young or old, but I got reminded<\/a> recently that Nirvana’s Nevermind album is coming up to 20 years old. When it was first released, I was in two places that stopped me from appreciating the album properly.<\/p>\n

Firstly I was too old … even being in my early 20s to fully appreciate the impact of those filled with the rage of the misfit. Secondly I was not really listening to music – in particular new music – during that period because, well frankly most of it seemed like crap to me. But it gradually crept up on me – tracks from the album kept being played in the unlikeliest places, and I eventually got a copy to listen to properly.<\/p>\n
