Sugar were a great band

[Kind of 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.
