Nirvana - MTV Unplugged In New York (Top 500 Countdown Update)

Continuing with my theme on pop music, I always thought what made Nirvana so special was their ability to make great sounding and sellable songs while sticking to their roots in sound. They weren't the first to mix the sound of hard, punky alternative with pop, but they were certainly the first to make it as mega stars and open the genre up to big business.

Personally I've never been a huge fan myself. I enjoy the singles, but never found a full album that kept me interested and this album is no different. Maybe I just don't get the whole mystique but I don't see the performance as being anything too special and would absolutely never pick this album up to listen to it.
