The Cobain 50
Kurt Cobain’s influence went beyond just the music he created with Nirvana. He also put the masses on to some of his own favorite artists. One particular document from his journals has been instructive to many fans – his top 50 albums. Each week, The Cobain 50 podcast digs into albums from this famous list and how they may have influenced Cobain and Nirvana. While learning the individual histories of the different albums on the list, we gain new insights into artists on the fringes as well as some of the biggest groups of all time. The podcast takes us through the legacies of acts like Sonic Youth, Pixies, The Breeders, Public Enemy, PJ Harvey, Black Flag, Mazzy Star, The Shaggs, Shonen Knife, and more. Episodes drop weekly starting January 10, 2024.

Enjoyed this entire podcast during my first trimester expecting. I couldn’t watch or read anything due to nausea— but I made it entirely through this podcast. I learned so much! Thank you!
No Cheap Trick?

Hard to believe you can talk about all these influences or possible influences of Kurt Cobain and not reference Cheap Trick?! Some of these shows are way off! I’d expect more from a solid station such as KEXP.
A thoughtful podcast for and by creative people

What a cool way to examine an artist as influential as Cobain. I like listening to it while I draw and paint. I enjoy all the host’s takes, including international perspectives! Give it a listen—it’ll make you excited about the bands you love and may introduce you to new sounds.
A Punk/Grunge Primer

Nicely produced and in digestible installments, this is a fantastic overview of roughly 20 years of music leading up to Nirvana’s short, brilliant reign in music. If you’re well acquainted with this era and style of sound, yeah, you’re not going to hear anything too revelatory. But that’s not the point. This is an accessible and even inspirational breakdown, curated by Cobain himself (in a slightly removed way) that leads the curious headbangers among us to dig in to the discographies and stories of some awesome artists. It got me to seriously reconsider The Clash and to get into PJ Harvey in earnest! Loving it!
