Hole
Conspiracy theorists will forever have a field day with the fact that Hole's clinically aggressive second album, 1994's 'Live Through This', was released just four days after Kurt Cobain killed himself, the band's frontwoman Courtney Love having given a tearful eulogy to her dead husband in Seattle. If anything, it was an eerily poignant testament to pain and inner strength, something that was further tested when two months later Hole's bassist Kristen Pffaf died of a drug overdose. Tragedy, scandal and provocation continually followed the Californian grungers with a revolving-door membership. One last album was to come, the glossy alternative-pop of 1998's 'Celebrity Skin', before Hole disbanded. Courtney Love didn't then release another note of music till her solo debut, 2004's 'America's Sweetheart'.
