Loading... In the first half of the 90's I learned I liked music. Like really liked music. So, yeah, I'm a grunge child.
I "discovered" Paw from a Road Rash video game soundtrack of all things. Remember "discovering" bands? I always felt such ownership of the bands I liked back then.
I think "Jessie" was their highest-charting tune, which means it probably didn't chart at all.
Did you know I started dating my wife in 8th grade? And her name is Jesse? She has really never appreciated my love of this song.

(4 votes, average: 7.50 out of 10)Loading... This is as close to a star grab as you'll get out of me. Nevermind was released Sept. 24, 1991 - I was 11 years old. It was my first "rock" album and it was a cassette*. After one listen, I flipped it back over and played it again. After about 10 listens, I began to understand that if there was stuff like this out there, then the world was a much bigger place than I'd previously comprehended. As such (and I'm not prone to hyperbole) Nirvana changed my life. Thanks for listening...
