was always a big SST guy and loved Land Speed, New Day Rising, Flip, and even Candy Apple.....in addition to Zen Arcade.
but, that was 20 years ago. i been rocking that stuff over the holidays in Oklahoma with my old vinyl collections.....and it's good stuff.
though, it's blasphemous a bit, i think the Grant Hart tunes are pretty cool. Mould is great, in his way, but maybe gets a little too much credit?

Re: Husker Du
My fav band of all-time.
Re: Husker Du
I think Hart's stuff is definitely integral to their overall greatness. To me, Mould never really seemed at home with the more hard-edged stuff. At any rate, Hart recently played here in PGH...and I fucking missed it!

Re: Husker Du
in 1986 i saw the Flaming Lips (back when they played guitars before the crooning/white suit stuff--now we are "Artists" stuff) open for the Huskers in OKC. Mould played an entire set of acoustic 12 string numbers. it was great; but, it wasn't what we came to see. it was uneasy being in the club crowd that night (OKC's venerable "the Bowery"). punk rockers were not happy.PSUFAN wrote:I think Hart's stuff is definitely integral to their overall greatness.

the Flaming Lips were UNReaL back then, noise. smoke, 20 minutes of Interstellar Overdrive and Pipers at the Gates strange. now, pop songs. "what is drag it is getting old"....said one of rock's more luminary bands. side note, personal bitching. after Priest Driven Amb, i lost interest. happy for their success....but, meh.
