who likes these fucks? New day rising and Zen arcade are fucking klass punk albums. Love the song "i dont know what your talking about" and "perfect example". This was revolutionary.

i'm awaiting patientless the opening of hüskers on a plane.

their music ain't bad, but the movie is the reason of existance.

husker du kicks ass. I love the sound of his guitar.

Grant Hart singing What's Going On? on Zen Arcade is my favorite song by them.

Bob Mould used to live above the (one of the locations) old 40 Watt in Athens & I went to some after parties there. It was in the '90s after he formed Sugar with local bassist David Barbe.

zen arcade is good. but like everyneurotic said. huskers on a plane is where it's at

Nothing after New Day Rising worth listening to. Eight Miles High best cover version EVER!

nomadicfollower 06.07.2006 05:05 PM

Not really into them. Kind of boring, actually.

Mackle 06.07.2006 05:55 PM

Nah they arent boring. One of the best pop bands ever. Zen Arcade, New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig are all perfect albums. Guitar sound on Flip Your Wig is incredible.

Have most of their stuff on CD already but I just ordered those 3 albums on vinyl. Awh yeh! :D

Pookie 06.07.2006 06:26 PM

Boring? Not if you're listening to Land Speed Record, Metal Circus, Zen Arcade, New Day Rising. The last 2 albums and a good deal of Flip are best avoided.

Savage Clone 06.07.2006 06:29 PM

I don't think their super-shrill guitar sound has aged well.
I still like Zen Arcade, but I think it might be for nostalgic reasons. Being from Minneapolis, I think I was overexposed.
I give them respect for doing a 2xLP concept album at the height of early 80s hardcore, and closing it with a 13 minute instrumental. That was pretty awesome.
Both of their vocal styles bug me now though, especially Bob.

Pookie 06.07.2006 06:32 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm probably listening nostalgically, but New Day Rising still does it for me. I always preferred Grant's vocals, Bob Mould was always a bit whiny for me.

I was looking at New Day Rising contimplating to buy it a few days ago. Question: Is Bad Moon Rising based off of (or vice versa) New Day Rising?

Pookie 06.07.2006 06:36 PM

Bad Moon Rising was taken from the Creedence Clearwater Revival song of the same name. Don't know where NDR came from.

i used to think that song was on the album

Pookie 06.07.2006 06:57 PM

New Day Rising is a track on the LP, but I don't think it is any way related to BMR, might be wrong. I'm sure Husker Du were CCR fans and Bad Moon Rising is a well known song. Incidentally, 59 Times The Pain is on NDR - I heard a terrible band of that name recently.

CHOUT 06.08.2006 02:41 AM

Husker Du is one of my all time favorite bands, easily top 5. I love all their music, from the early hardcore to the later poppy stuff.

I have a rare soundboard of Husker playing at the Longhorn in 1980 if anyone wants it. A few songs I haven't heard on any other recordings. Let me know and I'll post it.

umjammer atomsk 06.08.2006 03:03 AM

I'm a growing fan right now; I have zen arcade and it's great. Please post it chout, I'm interested.

porkmarras 06.08.2006 04:33 AM

I can't say a bad thing about this band.I'd love to but i can't.
Will i ever get tired of listening to 'Candy apple grey'?Don't think so.

IntoTheGroovey 06.08.2006 04:42 AM

I've actually only heard Flip Your Wig which I found on vinyl for 4 dollars at some marketplace. It's pretty good but I plan on checking out Zen arcade soon.

sonic sphere 06.08.2006 08:52 AM

i only have zen arcade but i think it's great
