Nirvana [6 Music Artist Collection]

Part of a BBC-wide celebration of the album on its 30th Anniversary, head to the BBC Sounds to find lots more celebrating this landmark moment in alternative music.

Artists, friends & collaborators share thier memories & passion for Nirvana's seminal LP.

Butch Vig, Bat For Lashes, Teenage Fanclub, Breeders, Wu Lu, and many others, share their memories & passion for Nirvana's seminal LP with the album played in full across the hour.

Dave discusses his earliest musical influence (Edgar Winter's prog rock classic Frankenstein made a big impression), his first punk gig (Naked Raygun in Chicago in 1982), which changed the path of his life and how he became politicised though his first proper band Scream in Washington DC in the '80s.

Dave also discusses the famous Sound City studios where Nirvana created the classic albums Nevermind and In Utero, and working with the famously demanding producer Steve Albini.

Dave also looks back on writing the songs that became the Foo Fighters' debut (he recorded twelve tracks in just six days - 'Had I taken it seriously, I would've taken a bit longer'), the staggeringly ambitious Sonic Highway documentary series, and his experiences playing Wembley Stadium.

And he chooses songs by The Beatles, Neil Young, Tom Petty, as you might expect, his beloved Led Zeppelin.
