    I thought you hated indie?! 🤔 More a fan of the Huskers but Sugar definitely had their moments, especially ‘copper blue’.

    Sugar and Husker du were alternative rock bands , heavy on the guitars

    Pixies ......lumped in with the students but very aggressive guitar

    Copper Blue is a great album

    I thought Sugar had a better sound , Husker Du sound dated now I think

    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.

    Have seen Bob Mould perform a couple times and both have been enjoyable with plenty of songs by both chucked in.

    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 band

    The same goes for the pixies , buffalo tom , Jesus lizard , Butthole Surfers , big black , rollins band , throwing muses , shellac, dinosaur jnr , Melvins , rolling band

    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

    Yes indeed I've seen him on most of his tours since Husku , just a great entertainer he covers all aspects of his career , as long as he covers Hoover Dam I'm well set .

    This us the set list In USA for the same tour :

    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… 🤪

    Student indie type band , some nice sounds

    But not a rock band like Sugar or Melvins or Big Black were

    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 punk
