husker du
 

was sonic youth influenced by husker du?

I've never heard them say they were. I read somewhere that they talked to Bob Mould about signing to a major since he had experience with that.

They started around the same time and were both on SST, so I'm sure they would have been aware of each other, but I see no signs of influence.

Thurston maybe

BTW Husker Du great fuckin band

screaming skulllll

Just to remind how awesome this band were.Out of all the power-pop whatever bands they were(and still remain)my favourite of them all.Pixies got close and Nirvana just wished but Husker Du were allmighty.

Yes, they were mentioned in this song so there's a good chance they were influenced by them.

so were the Lemonheads, but I don't think they influenced SY at all.

Cool

huskers are the band sugar could have been!!!







ill get my coat..................

New Day Rising!!!!!! New Day Rising!!!!!!!

I think Sonic Youth were influenced by how Husker Du fizzled down to a sad imitation of themselves when they signed to a major and swore that they wouldn't do the same. I believe they didn't either.

fucking boring shit

All the SST bands were probably an inspiration to the Yoot.The fact that these bands lived on floors and in vans and ate dog food to survive helped galvanize the entire scene.The 80's were rough.No internet or national "alt" genre existed for the freaks...you either knew by fanzine/word of mouth or you were lost.

:mad::mad::mad:

Husker Du influenced Kim Gordon to grow an awesome mustache.

i'm listening to 'statues' right now, one of the best songs ever.
