This is Kurt Cobain’s birthday! | Q104.3 | Doc Reno – iheart

The legend of Kurt Cobain has long been chronicle as he was declared a definition of generation X. Kurt, formed Nirvana in 1987 and quickly became part of the bubbling music scene in Seattle, which is the birthplace of Grunge. The group will make their debut with “Bleach” in 1989 by Sub Pop Records, but after adding Dave Groll to cement the power trio, Nirvana will hit him big with the single “Smell as a teenager” from their now emblematic album Nevermind through 1991

Although welcomed as the voice of his generation, Kurt was uncomfortable with his great success and his struggle with heroin and chronic depression would lead to his death at the age of 27 from a self-inflicted rifle wound. After his death, his influence will influence not only a new generation of rock performers, but also new sub -genres of pop, rock and hip hop. Nirvana will be introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, as Rolling Stone has included it in its list of 100 most songwriters of all time.

Today we are celebrating the legend that still lives to this day.
