Loved Nevermind when it first came out, but Nirvana are just a little too raw, too intense for a soft old chap like me.

I do think  your music tastes  change as you  get older.  I was a big U2 fan but I  struggled to name   a top 3 for them.

No doubt. I'd have similar feelings about Led Zep and the Doors, who soundtracked my mid teen years. Love listening to Metallica's intros but can no longer take Hetfield's voice.

I find myself now pulling towards Neil Diamond and Kris Kristofferson. My younger self would hate me lol.

Nevermind is a decent album. Bleach is by far their best tho

I dont think so, In Utero was their best for me.

Not sure it changes so much as you just get bored with what you were once obsessed by.  Used to love The Pixies, The Police, The Stones, Bowie, Dylan (just to pick a few examples).  But I've heard all the songs too many times now, and, with a few exceptions, they've lost their ability to affect me.  I recognize that the music is still good, but I generally wouldn't choose to listen to any of the above.

Not a fan of Nirvana, but anyhow....

Like Austin, I'll go with two covers:

Teen spirit
Where did you sleep last night?
Rape me.
