No that’s cool. The format works and Funky does a good admin job.

Am I the only person that has requested Husker Du? I just feel it will eventually drop when I am knee deep in really heavy shit at the hospital I work in on a 12 hour shift and will not be able to contribute. Things like that should be factored in. Apologies if that sound selfish as that is not my intention.

Maybe 20 different people will have interesting things to say and then the thread would die, it’s just the board demographics

I love Husker Du, but I fear any HGATR would be full of “never heard, abstain” type comments. Even Bob Mould’s excellent solo records get very little traction here when they’re new releases. Plus it’s Funky’s thing anyway and he looks after it nicely. If Jeff Mills was in the DJ booth you wouldn’t go and ask him for a request.

Maybe we should have an Our Band Could Be Your Life thread where us old gits can sit around and talk about HD and Big Black and whoever while all the young uns run round in the next room shouting about Black Country New Road and getting all overexcited from drinking too much orange squash.

I love Hüsker Dü and have only ever heard Copper Blue of Bob’s solo records. I’ve heard more of Grant Hart’s and even saw him five or six times, oddly enough.

I like Grant Hart’s stuff a lot, just highlighted Bob because he’s had two albums out in the last couple of years that have been well reviewed and had lots of press attention etc, but they’ve barely made a ripple here.

Beauty And Ruin is SUCH a great album, think it might be his best

I would happily join in a discussion about Husker Du/Sugar/Bob Mould - big love for it all.

#376

I started a thread on Bob Mould ages ago, use that if you want

#377

Was originally a thread on Bob Bread, but it’s over a month old.

Always difficult to tell which hgatr threads will take off but I think a Husker Du one would do alright. Because of their influence a lot of people will probably have had some kind of exposure to them at least.

Think I heard them through covers by Kerbdog and Therapy? but others might have heard covers by the likes of (using google for this) Green Day, Sebadoh, Ryan Adams, Anthrax, Mark Kozelek, Train, Deacon Blue, Foo Fighters or this guy…

Now over 100 replies since the last mention of The O*******g by the way.
