Nirvana é um álbum dos melhores êxitos da banda grunge estadunidense Nirvana, lançado em outubro de 2002.

Nirvana foi o terceiro álbum do Nirvana a ser lançado após a morte do vocalista/guitarrista Kurt Cobain em abril de 1994, e o primeiro a apresentar material de estúdio. Ele contém a "You Know You're Right", um canção gravada durante o ensaio final da banda de janeiro de 1994. O álbum também inclui uma seleção das canções mais populares da banda, tiradas principalmente de Nevermind, de 1991 e In Utero, de 1993, mas também contém três canções pré-Nevermind e duas canções gravadas durante o set do MTV Unplugged da banda no final de 1993. Nirvana estreou no #3 na Billboard 200 e vendeu mais de 3,471,000 cópias pelo mundo (exceto Ásia) até novembro de 2003. Atualmente, o álbum vendeu mais de 6 milhões de cópias pelo mundo, e vendeu sozinho aproximadamente 2.2 milhões de cópias nos Estados Unidos de acordo com o Soundscan.

Nirvana foi lançado seguindo a determinação de uma longa disputa judicial entre a viúva de Cobain, Courtney Love, e os membros restantes do Nirvana, Krist Novoselic e Dave Grohl. Grande parte da disputa centrou-se em torno de "You Know You're Right", que Novoselic e Grohl queriam a liberação de um longo atraso do box set do Nirvana. Entretanto, Love bloqueou a liberação, e processou Novoselic e Grohl sobre o controle do legado do Nirvana.

A ação judicial de Love manteve-se em "You Know You're Right" que foi um "'hit' potencial de extraordinário valor artístico e comercial". Ela acreditava que "You Know You're Right" seria "desperdiçada" em um box set, e em vez disso pertencesse a uma compilação disco-single similar ao álbum 1 dos Beatles. Em setembro de 2002, ele foi anunciado pelo acampamento Nirvana que a ação havia sido resolvida, e que "You Know You're Right" seria lançada no "Nirvana, um CD da história da banda".

User Album Review
"Things have never been so swell, I have never felt so well..."
Roll up, roll up. Welcome to Nirvana's Greatest Hits, you know the band that changed the face of modern rock music. All your favourites are here, and there's a new track too ("You Know You're Right"), conveniently placed in pole position.
Their debut Bleach is criminally under-represented, with only "About A Girl" making an appearance.Then we get "Been A Son" and "Sliver" from the interim sessions prior to Nevermind, before coming across most of the first side of that classic album ("Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come As You Are", "Lithium" and "In Bloom" all storming songs which remind the listener exactly why Nirvana broke the alt-rock mould).
The next section comprises a selection from Nirvana's swan song, In Utero."Heart Shaped Box", "Pennyroyal Tea" and "Rape Me" are still wonderful, visceral songs, but it's "All Apologies" which really tugs at the heartstrings.We finish up with two numbers from the MTV Unplugged session -covers of Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" and Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World".The latter makes for particularly difficult listening in retrospect, with Cobain's tortured voice insisting that "we never lost control".Less than six months later he committed suicide.
Of course, the main reason most Nirvana fans will buy this record is the only new track on the album, "You Know You're Right". While the initial impact of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is almost impossible to eclipse (remember where you were the first time you heard that intro and those chords?), for most aficionados of the Seattle Trio it was a veritable shiver-down-the-spine moment when "You Know You're Right" first came on the radio.A rave from the grave.A poignant reminder of what might have been. An almost unbearable sense of bathos.Listening to a dead man snarling out his last gasp of righteous sarcasm.
Who these barbed lyrics are directed towards is a matter of debate.The fact that the remaining members of Nirvana have been locked in litigation with Cobain's widow regarding the release of a box set of both old and unreleased material for over two years may be neither here nor there. One can only wonder what the notoriously cynical and anti-corporate Kurt would have made of it all.
"I am married...buried...All we are is all we are"
