"Nevermind is one of the best albums of all time!"

This week, we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's album Nevermind.

We quizzed Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor on what this classic album means to him.

"I was a huge fan of Nirvana," Taylor tells Kerrang!. "I remember playing Bleach for my friends and telling them they were going to be massive. When Nevermind was on the verge of dropping, I made all my friends go out and buy it. Never knew it would be that big, but they deserved it.

"No pun intended, but never mind the singles - the album is deep as hell, he adds. "From Lounge Act to Territorial Pissings it is the perfect blend of punk, college, rock and pop. To this day, one of the best albums of all time."

Be sure to pick up this week's issue of Kerrang!, which comes bagged with an exclusive CD of Nevermind covered in full by the likes of The Blackout, Young Guns, Rise To Remain, The Dillinger Escape Plan and more!

That album will go down In history along with other awesome albums like back in black, dark side of the moon, master of puppets etc. For corey Taylor to say that I feel so apprecitated that their is still great music out their and our charts are not dominated by simon cowels regime. Coreys music is just as insperational and powerful as kurt's lyrics and music xx

I think the covers album is very distasteful. If you can only get cheesey acts to do covers for you then don't bother at all.

I find it atrocious that you get such weak, terrible bands to cover one of the greatest albums of all time.

who cares who covers what, they are just showing their appreciation of the music, its no different from playing your favourite songs in a garage with your mates, just that these bands have alot of fans and many people would appreciate hearing them, if you dont like it dont listen to it
