in utero
Scentless Apprentice makes the album for me

In Utero Mos Def

I have issues with both albums, but apart from "Teen Spirit," I think In Utero has the better "singles" from their career.

This may be blasphemy, but I'll take the unplugged album over both any day.

They both are great in their own way.

I'd have to go with Nevermind.

In Bloom and Smells Like Teen Spirit are just too much damn fun on drums for warming up for In Utero to be better,

Kurt Cobain said Nevermind was too slick and poppy for his tastes and that In Utero was the album he was most proud of. That being said Nevermind is easily my least favorite Nirvana album while In Utero is easily my favorite.

I think I would say In Utero, but only because Nevermind was so popular. I mean, they are honestly so close that if In Utero had been the mega-popular album, I would probably say Nevermind.

It doesn't surprise me that in retrospect, Cobain would disown Nevermind. He absolutely hated the success it brought him. I mean, Crowquill, do you actually think Cobain thought he was being slick and poppy when he was writing the record? Nevermind has some gems like Territorial Pissings and Something in the Way. Actually, I like all the songs that haven't got a sh*t load of radio play.

You don't have to hate on something because it's popular. Just because Nevermind was popular doesn't make it bad. You shouldn't let how many records were sold or how much the songs were played on the radio influence your opinion of the music.

Probably, he had just gotten evicted during the recording of Nevermind and was living in his car. I'm pretty sure he was aware it was poppy and wanted money. Hence why he agreed to a music video, signing to geffen etc. I think this whole "Kurt Cobain was thrown into unwanted fame" thing is slightly exaggerated. I think Kurt began to dislike his fame once he achieved it but if he'd really hated the idea of being famous he would've never left Subpop.

I think he is saying that hearing tracks from Nevermind all the time kinda spoils it. It was a solid album, but you can only hear the same song so many times before it makes you sick.

I vote In Utero.
