Nirvana are commercial
Nirvana's iconic 1991 single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" beat out hits from Madonna, Britney Spears and U2 to be named the best pop song in 20 years by Britain's Q Magazine.
In its November issue, which celebrates Q's 20th anniversary, the publication set out to identify the top 20 singles of the past two decades. Their picks range from pop sensations like Britney Spears' " ... Baby, One More Time," and Outkast's "Hey Ya" to The Prodigy's punk/techno mix "The Firestarter" and Guns N' Roses' hard-edged rock ballad, "Sweet Child O' Mine."
"The thing about 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' it was a watershed moment in rock music. It changed everything," said Q magazine deputy editor Gareth Grundy of the iconic Nirvana hit. "It put heavy music back on the map in the early 90's, really, that combination of punk-rock anger and the heavy Black Sabbath 70's metal. It was something new. Sulky kids everywhere loved Nirvana and continue to do so."
Who would have thunked it. Nirvana are actually comercial
