Nirvana: The Band

Nirvana is a band that became extremely popular in the early 1990's. Songs like "Smells like Teen Spirit" and "Come as You Are" are still very well known to this day. Group members Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic went from being a regional grunge rock group in the northwest United States to stars very fast. As explained by David Grohl, the group went from touring out of their small van to becoming very rich and famous within the span of 18 months. When the band released the album "Nevermind" in 1991, it became one of the highest selling albums in history at the time. Although with all this fame and fortune, it all came to an end in 1994 as the band decided to seperate entirely after lead singer Kurt Cobain's passing.
