Copper Blue is a great album
I thought Sugar had a better sound , Husker Du sound dated now I think

Great solo on this
Just pulling your leg pal. However if I were asked what sort of music Sugar were my immediate answer would be indie rock. Husker Du were more varied and the first few records are more buzzsaw hardcore punk than anything. Can appreciate your point about their sound though, they tended to be a little tinny and thin but otherwise I like 80s productions generally on records of that period.Quote:

As it has now been established that the term "indie" only applies to bands that Sludge thinks it should, would he care to elaborate? I'd appreciate a general definition and some examples. Please don't mention students. They're not a monolith and they don't all like the same bands.
Sugar are a guitar driven rock band , they are a rock band , stick em on 4AD , stick em on EMI , they are a rock bandQuote:

Everybody knows that indie is about floppy haired students
You can tell you are talking to an indie fan .....they read about rock bands like smashing pumpkins in the NME and go yeah great band man !
Next week they turn up in kerrang or rock sound etc and they don't like them because they don't like heavy metal
Indie bands are lightweight naff for students afraid of heavy riffs
It's got nothing to do with what label a bands on , it's to do with the sound
Have it
Bob Mold of Sugar playing Globe very soon 23 Jan 2022.
Black sheets of rain is heavy goingQuote:

I like some “Indie” music and I like some metal. I also like some hard rock and acts playing many other styles.
I guess that makes me confused or schizophrenic… 🤪
This should help as it covers what you've listed .Quote:

There is clearly a difference . Snow Patrol another indie type of band
You are right same as Artic Monkeys type of band they jumped onto the Indie scene as it was a trendy name the band you list were real Indie pioneers as were those garage bands who had little financial support to make a difference most born from UK and USA punkQuote:
