Smells Like Teen Spirit

Nirvana.  The American band that started the grunge movement.  Three studio albums, eight years, and many in-and-out members, this band belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Even though Bon Jovi and ELO (or just Jeff Lynne) have yet to be inducted into the legendary HOF, (I am very angry that they have not been inducted) Nirvana is one of the groups that also belongs and will belong as of this year.  The group made grunge a "thing."  Without Kurt Cobain's basic components,singing style, and lyrics, it is hard to tell what the band would have been.

But the band really would not have been what they were if the other members had never been there.  Krist Novoselic and Cobain were the only members present for the full eight years with the rest coming and going as they pleased.

In honor of their nomination for entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Kurt Cobain, here's their 1992 VMA performance:
