Nirvana filmed this landmark performance in a single take, which had never happened before on MTV’s Unplugged. Their set ended with a cover of an old blues song, “Where Did You Sleep Last Night,” which is now regarded by many as one of the greatest single live performances in music history. It’s included on the album, which you can score for only five bucks.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Cage The Elephant

You should definitely pick this one up today if you’re into rock music. It’s like indie-folk songwriting meets a super-laid-back, yet energetic punk-rock band that was influenced by 90’s grunge. If that sentence doesn’t make sense—good, it shouldn’t. That sort of sums up their eclectic sound. Take those five singles earmarked for the vending machine and put them toward this album instead, it’s worth it.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Bad Company

Supergroups tend to be an amazing idea on paper, but once the music hits the airwaves, they don’t live up to the hype. Today’s band was certainly legit, but they don’t perhaps get the recognition they deserve. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, it’s a bit surprising they aren’t more of a household name.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Badfinger

Don't be scared off by the hair! Badfinger, a group signed to the Beatles' own label, created some awesome music but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved...until now. For five bucks you can give their sound a whirl—and you won't be disappointed. The top three tracks stack up to anything Lennon or McCartney put out.
