Back to Unplugged: The Five Best and Worst Acoustic Albums
BEST: Nirvana -- 'Unplugged in New York'
DGC
Raw and emotional, the performances that make up Nirvana's acclaimed Unplugged in New York had added weight due to the fact the album was released after Kurt Cobain's 1994 suicide. Both "Pennyroyal Tea" and "All Apologies" are absolutely haunting. The band wisely eschewed MTV hits such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for unexpected covers such as Meat Puppets' visceral "Lake of Fire" and David Bowie's "Man Who Sold the World," making this both a crown jewel in the Nirvana catalogue and the best unplugged album ever.
