How do you follow up one of the biggest breakthroughs in rockmusic?

For Nirvana, the answer was to clean out the closets (andpotentially ruin any future box-set plans) from their Sub Pop daysto the outtakes from their 1991 smash Nevermind.

The end result, Incesticide, is spotty at times, but it also shows how goodthis band could be at times.

This album covers almost every single lineup that Nirvana everhad (although there isn't a lot of detail about them on the linernotes, and I forgot to take notes when I was researching this albumon the Nirvana fan sites). It's a pretty good balance of theirbrief history as a band, though it's also pretty easy to tell whichsongs are the older ones.
