Underrated Nirvana: The Most Overlooked Song From Each Album
There s nobody in rock history quite like Nirvana.
The grunge icons are celebrated as one of the greatest acts to ever take the stage, yet their entire studio discography is only three albums long. That output is minuscule when compared with other legendary acts. For reference, the Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Beach Boys are among the artists who have released three albums
in one year.
While Nirvana’s quantity of material is small, its quality was unmatched. Their trio of LPs - 1989’s
Nevermind and 1993’s
In Utero - offered equal parts anger and exhilaration. Whether Kurt Cobain was screaming at the top of his lungs or delivering lyrics in fragile hush tones, his band maintained an uncanny ability to resonate with listeners. It was a sound that connected with an entire generation of music lovers. So, while the Nirvana’s time together was brief, it was undoubtedly phenomenal.
Bruce Springsteen has won many awards over the years.
He ll need to make more space on the mantlepiece for yet another statue.
It s been announced that he has won the Woody Guthrie Prize.
This prize is given to artists who continue “in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie” as champions “for the voiceless with an understanding of how a platform can be used to shine a light on our world, showing us what needs to be fixed and how to fix it,”
The Boss will receive the award May 13 at an event for members of the Guthrie Center.
He s pleased to say the least.
Springsteen’s music provides a soundtrack of resilience, strength, heart and joy despite or even in spite of the struggles thrown our way, the Guthrie Center stated. Drawing from his experiences growing up in New Jersey, Springsteen’s songs have connected on a universal level with fans worldwide.
Springsteen said Guthrie s work inspired his own music and he often performed his songs, like This Land is Your Land before the inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009. I’m honored to receive the 2021 Woody Guthrie Prize, Springsteen said in a statement. Woody wrote some of the greatest songs about America’s struggle to live up its ideals in convincing fashion. He is one of my most important influences and inspirations.
