Bleach gave us a peek at Nirvana’s eventual pop-world domination through the bright, Beatles-y “About a Girl,” but for the most part, the grunge progenitors get aggressively grimy on their full-length debut. Nirvana’s most primal full-length embraces the sounds of Sabbath-mangled hardcore, the spark of a half-broken Bic lighter and the whoosh of the Wishkah river. Legendarily recorded for a mere $600, Bleach is a priceless piece of heavy-music history.
