I have a confession to make. It's deeply personal and slightly embarrassing. But for the love of this page and its fans I'll spew. Music makes me think of sex. In fact sometimes I classify an album based on a sexual position. It's not that serious. I don't have any CD books labeled doggy style, or missionary position. It's just a mental thing. For example, weezer's blue album if filed under "girl on top" in my brain, just as every James Brown album ever is filed under "nasty butt sex". But when I first heard Nirvana I had quite a bit of trouble using this system to classify them. They aren't really sexy at all. Could it be possible that there was a band that could actually transcend sex?
Nirvana did transcend sex. They took music to a whole new level and in doing so left hair metal behind to wallow in their sex based lust-fest. Nirvana became the gods of this new form of music, grunge. And this is the reason they are here on my list. |
