Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Paul Simon, R.E.M., Sting, Lauryn Hill all turned in great performances, while some other acts didn’t fare so well. Some acts do the ‘unplugged’ thing better than others. Nirvana did the right thing they didn’t just belt out the hits, but made an effort and it paid off. MTV Unplugged was hailed by critics as proof the band was able to transcend the grunge sound they were commonly associated with. It also won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 1996. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and has become the group’s most successful posthumous release, selling five million copies in America by 1997. MTV Unplugged in New York was the first Nirvana album released in the wake of the April 1994 suicide of singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain.
