It's the gurus of grunge meeting up with the "King of Pop" in this truly inspired mash-up, as Mark Vidler and U.K. outfit Go Home Productions adeptly link Nirvana's gritty classic 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' with Michael Jackson's squeaky clean, 'Rockin' Robin,' a song the pop star recorded for his first solo album but also performed with the Jackson 5. While it's something you probably never envisioned in a million years, there's no denying the incredible catchiness of this pairing.
In the world of rock, the date April 5 is a solemn one, as it marks the anniversary of the death of both Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley.

You may think you've attained all the 'Nevermind' knowledge ever made public, but there are some new tidbits from producer Butch Vig and frontman Kurt Cobain that may deepen your understanding of the album.

Few bands have made quite the impact that Nirvana did when they exploded onto the scene in the early '90s. Led by frontman Kurt Cobain and featuring the talents of drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic, Nirvana revolutionized rock music with their 1991 sophomore album, 'Nevermind.' Trag
If imitation is the ultimate sign of flattery, then Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album cover has to be one of the most beloved images in pop culture history. The iconic artwork has been replicated many times over the years, and Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is the latest to pay tribute, recreating the image for 'ESPN The Magazine's new music issue.
Halestorm and their track ‘Freak Like Me’ beat out Italian metallers Lacuna Coil in a very close Cage Match, but can they do it again versus today’s legendary collective?
A new Kurt Cobain documentary film is currently being planned for a 2014 release, and it aims to delve into the true spirit of the late Nirvana frontman.
