Additional notes
Considered by many to be the leading lights of the Seattle grunge scene of the late 1980s/early 1990s, and perhaps the most influential rock band of Generations X & Y, Nirvana was a powerful trio of musicians who brought a unique aesthetic to a growing-stale rock scene.
Lead singer frontman Kurt Cobain's death (suspected suicide) in April 1994 brought an untimely end to the band.
