10 Amazing Hidden Tracks On Classic Albums

Throughout Nirvana's entire career, Kurt Cobain always had to struggle between both styles of his writing. Though he may have wanted to write the kind of melodies that everyone loved on songs like In Bloom, there was a more brash punk side of his writing waiting to get out, like the raw aggression behind Territorial Pissings and Aneurysm. Nevermind might be the most commercial entry point for their music, but the final moments of the album actually give you a glimpse at the ideal version of what Nirvana were like live.

During the recording of the song Lithium, the band kept getting increasingly frustrated with how to nail down the track and what came out was Endless Nameless, going for over 7 minutes and being just a cacophony of noise to let out all of their frustration without taking it out on each other. There's no room for radio hooks on this song, being comprised of Kurt making white noise and occasional lead lines on his guitar, up until the end of the track where you can actually hear him smashing his guitar in the background.

Though the day's work had to be scrapped to help Kurt find another left handed guitar, it did spark an idea for their live set as well, becoming their go to set closer when it was time for them to trash themselves, more often than not ending with Krist Novoselic and Kurt smashing their gear and Dave Grohl's drums being ripped to shreds. This may have been a good way to kind of take the piss out of rock and roll, but it also might be one of the better rock and roll moments to come out of the '90s.
