# How long does it take to listen to Nirvana's discography?

**How long to listen to Nirvana's discography: about 2 hours 1 minute**

3 studio albums

Nirvana's entire studio output is three albums and about two hours — shorter than a single feature film in several cases on this list, and by far the smallest complete discography here. Nevermind is 42 minutes and displaced Michael Jackson from the top of the Billboard chart. The band existed for seven years and released studio albums in only three of them. The brevity is the fact worth knowing: the influence-to-runtime ratio is unmatched in modern music.
