5 Nirvana Tracks We Can Never Forget

Sliver

Written by Kobain and released as a solo single in 1990 by Sub Pop, Sliver was later added to the Insecticide compilation album, released in 1992. Blending elements of grunge and pop-punk, Sliver was allegedly written during a rehearsal session with temporary Nirvana drummer Dan Peters.

Kurt Cobain claimed he “decided I wanted to write the most ridiculous pop song I had ever written” when penning the lyrics for Sliver, and the whole track was recorded in under an hour. It follows the story of a boy spending time with his grandparents and features quite simply and straightforward lyrics, but it was a smash hit, performing well in charts around the world.
