Wonderful memories .
Husker Du ..
How very sad. Dead at a relative young age too. He's actually two years younger than me.
R.I.P Grant
Husker Du were a hugely a influential band, besides their revolutionary sound they were the first alternative band to sign with a major label, hence opening the door for the many great bands who followed in their footsteps.
I used to think this was the best cover version of any song ever. Not so much now, but still....

The Sex Pistols signed with a major label in 1977.Quote:

I remeber listening to New Day Rising for the first time, and thought this was going to change music and bands influenes forever.
So much prefered this sound to that of UK punk .
lol who
The Sex Pistols weren't an alternative underground act, they were manufactured! Husker Du were trailblazers, them and Black Flag. They will forever sit comfortably in the history of music as one of the most influential bands :biggrin:Quote:

Manufactured by a bloke who owned a clothes shop. Hardly mainstream. And there'd be no Back Flag without them.Quote:

Washington DC hardcore sound was very influential on a lot of the metal I listen to nowadays , minor threat , fugazi had a punk sound but had very grating guitar which was nice
Classic Husker Du
