Live Through This is the second album by grunge band Hole. It was released in 1994, just a week after the suicide of singer Courtney Love's husband Kurt Cobain. (see 1994 in music). It was voted as the best album of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll. Rumour has it that Cobain, Love's husband, actually wrote the majority of this album, although this has never
been proven. The album's composition is similar to Nirvana's Nevermind, which was written almost completely by Cobain, except with a more mainstream sound.
The album is number 466 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
