Nirvana's Nevermind was released ten years ago today. I remember when we received it at the radio station: our music director said it was being hyped up and I remember thinking how well-produced it sounded, somewhere between the Pixies and Metallica, too melodic for one and too loud and angry for the other: melodic, brainy hardcore, I suppose. The popularity of that album ended up having a huge impact of campus radio in Canada, making halfway accessible pop and rock secondary programming on most stations.
