Nirvana

Nirvana was a band formed by Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in 1987. 
The band went through many drummers, Dave Grohl being the most prominent and well known drummer for the band. The band are one of the most influential bands of all time. The band's first album "Bleach", released on Sub Pop in 1989, is the best selling album on the independent label, selling over 1 million copies and is one of two albums certified platinum in the U.S. that was released on the label. 
The band's second album, Nevermind, broke the band into the mainstream with the success of the album's lead single Smells Like Teen Spirit. The album went on to sell over 30 million copies, making it the best selling grunge album of all time and is credited with putting the final nail in the coffin of the Hair metal genre and bringing Grunge into the mainstream. The band later released the rarities and B-sides compilation, Incesticide, which feature the non-album single 'Sliver'.
The band's third and final album, In Utero, also received massive commercial success, selling over 6 million copies in the U.S. alone. The band posthumously released the live albums MTV Unplugged Live In New York in 1994, and From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah in 1996, both of which reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Nirvana have sold over 75 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time.
