Nirvana, the most popular band in the 90's is a grunge/metal-alternative band composed of Drummer Dave Grohl, Bassist Krist Novoselic and vocalist Kurt Cobain. They have chart topping singles like "Heart-shaped box", "All apologies", "Come as you are" and the greatest song in the 90's by billboard 100 and is also my personal favorite. Sadly their reign ended with the death of Kurt Cobain on April 5th, 1994 who committed suicide on his Lake Washington home. Cobain's artistic endeavors and struggles with heroin addiction, illness and depression, as well as the circumstances of his death have become a frequent topic of fascination, debate, and controversy throughout the world.

He was ranked by Rolling Stone as the 12th greatest guitarist and 45th greatest singer of all time, and by MTV as 7th in the "22 Greatest Voices in Music". In 2006, he was placed at number twenty by Hit Parader on their list of the "100 Greatest Metal Singers of All Time".
