And so is Grant Hart’s! A much more erratic career than Bob’s, but there are some gems there. This is a lovely understated snapshot of a chaotic life

And this album will satisfy all your needs for a record about Nazis trying to escape justice by travelling back in time only to end up in the most famous volcanic eruption in history

Was so good seeing Bob Mould and No Age doing a few Husker Du numbers at an otherwise fairly dismal winter ATP.

Going to spin a few albums before I vote.

So much this. Tried a bunch of times because they’re so influential and so many people love them. But it just sounds like rubbish pop-punk to my ears. Don’t get the appeal.

I literally wrote “I’m sure Hart’s was too I’m just not familiar with it” then deleted it :grin:

Here’s a playlist I made to get some pals into them if you want to start with that!

I don’t know enough about them to vote. However, I do have the perfect meme ready for if they finish just below Jay-Z…

5, wonderful band.

Yeah, Grant’s first solo album Intolerance is probably my favourite of all the post-Dü stuff. It’s much mellower and more diverse sounding than you expect.

Hüsker Dü are obviously a 5. Hopefully I’ll get time to write a self-indulgent screed later.

Oh, and it’s ALT+0252 if you’re not sure.

can we have a side-bar about great keyboard shortcuts?

Is @Severed799 a fan?! Put on zen arcade on my way into work and thought to myself that this has severed written all over it. :slight_smile:

Glad to see I’m not the only one who feels this way. Could never understand what I was missing, although I’ll give @Kallgeese ’s playlist another go just in case

Echoing others here in saying that I’ve tried so many times, but they’ve just never hit that sweet spot for me. “Copper Blue” is one of my all-time faves though, so Bob Mould is alright with me.

Imagine if after all your posts this was your only contribution to the thread

We should form a separate thread for people who just don’t get Husker Du.

What does @discobot think of the Du?

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

Love Copper Blue, but Beaster edges it for me, just a bit more intensity and rawness.
