Poll: What is the Best Song on Nirvana's 'Nevermind'?
Nevermind, Nirvana's second studio album, hit the shelves on September 24, 1991 -- and things haven't quite been the same ever since.
The landmark album brought alternative rock to the masses and sold a hell of a lot of products for Colgate (the makers of Teen Spirit deodorant) ... .
Now, 20 years after the fact, we ask you to take our poll and choose your favorite -- or simply the best overall -- song from Nevermind.
We know it might be difficult for you. After all, how could you possibly choose "Lithium" over "Come As You Are"? Or "Smells Like Teen Spirit" over "Polly"? Over the past two decades, the album's 12 tunes have bonded with our collective psyche -- like demented cousins we can't quite live without.
