It was thirty years ago today … with the lights out, it’s less dangerous
It is strange to think that such an iconic album would never reach the number one slot either side of the Atlantic, despite being in the charts for more than seven years. In a similar manner to Never Mind the Bollocks in the early punk scene, from which the title is thought to have been influenced, this record became the poster-album for Grunge. Rolling Stone magazine made it number one in their Top 50 Grunge Albums list, and it has been voted Best Album of the ‘Nineties on several occasions as well as making the top ten in numerous Best Album of All Time lists.
