#173 Nirvana, 'In Utero' (1993)

Following their earth-shattering commercial success with ‘Nevermind,’ and thanks to their ubiquitous mainstream success, Nirvana gained thousands of new fans, some of whom Kurt Cobain detested. In December 1992, they released ‘Incesticide,’ a compilation album of B-sides, demos and rarities and in the liner notes for that record, Cobain wrote “If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us — leave us the fuck alone! Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records.”
