10 Grunge Albums That Deserve More Love

10. Nirvana - Bleach

It may seem almost redundant to put any Nirvana album on this list, considering the instant impact the band had alongside its gargantuan fanbase and meteoric rise to fame. But, in 1989, when they released this debut album, they weren't exactly on everyone's radar. As a matter of fact, the rise didn't occur until "Smells Like Teen Spirit" dominated MTV and became an overnight sensation.

The eponymous bleach for many years before both Kurt Cobain's untimely death and their phenomenal, heart-wrenching final farewell performance on MTV's Unplugged was something of an anomaly for everyone's favourite grunge band. Even today, it remains obscured in their back catalogue, and most people only tend to know one song from the album.

Hell, a lot of people don't even know that Dave Grohl was yet to be a mainstay for the band at this point.

The song being referred to is, of course, the seminal "About a Girl" which too only really became a hit once the band performed it in their Unplugged set and, for some even younger views, probably through Wes Scantlin's scathing rendition.

Outside of "About a Girl" though, there are some real gems hidden amongst this collection, with songs like "School" and "Blew" standing out and even being two of the only three songs from this album that Cobain and company regularly performed in live shows.
