The Nevermind album cover shows a baby swimming toward a US dollar bill on a fishhook. Cobain liked the title because it was a metaphor for his attitude on life, and because it was grammatically incorrect. However, as recording sessions were completed, Cobain grew tired of the title and suggested to bassist Krist Novoselic that the new album be named Nevermind. Nevermind was responsible for bringing alternative rock to a large mainstream audience, and critics subsequently regard it as one of the best rock albums of all time.ĭuring recording, the album's tentative title was Sheep, something Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain created as an inside joke towards the people he expected to buy the record.

The Recording Industry Association of America has certified the album Diamond (over 10 million copies shipped), and the album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Despite low commercial expectations by the band and the label, Nevermind became a surprise success in late 1991, largely due to the popularity of its first single, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.

Nevermind is the second studio album by the American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991, and their first release on DGC Records.
