Husker Du
I missed Hüsker Dü by a good few years, after early exposure thanks to the ever reliable John Peel. The band's unique blend of breakneck hardcore, tuneful songwriting and audio experimentation made them permanent favourites of mine, after being introduced to them via 1984's Zen Arcade double LP. It remains a favourite with it's mix of experimental wall of noise and range of songs.
Later on I got their earlier effort, 1982's Everything Falls Apart - it was a markedly more full-on LP, full of short and screeching mini-epics, stripped down and raw. Today we feature the title track from it - and as I never got to see the band live, its of extra interest to me. What's more, this video doesn't just feature one track, but two - so get stuck in.

They were so powerful live back in the late 80's early 90's. Mould has evolved and I love his solo stuff as well as Sugar!!
