10 Best Final Albums In Rock

The music world was dealt a heavy blow in 1994 with the tragic suicide of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain. While Kurt had been in a bad way in the previous months, no one could have predicted that his life would be cut short in an instant. It seemed that the band's artistic output had come to a halt after just three records.

However, a few months after Cobain's death, the band put out a live album capturing the band's performance on MTV's Unplugged series. While posthumous releases sometimes fall into the category of cash-grabs, this record stands as one of the most intriguing releases the band ever put out.

Since Nirvana were primarily known as an alt-rock band, an entirely acoustic album seemed a bit unusual. In a stylistic left turn, this album shows the band at their raw essence as they work their way through Nirvana deep cuts and fantastic covers like David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World." To hear some of these songs in this setting not only highlight the band's power but also the emotional vulnerability of Kurt as he shreds his soul throughout each song. We miss you Kurt, and we were glad to have you for as long as we did.
