Description

DescriptionThey didn’t yet have terms like ‘alternative rock’ when Minneapolis’s Husker Du made their mark as one of the 1980’s most influential bands. With two skilled songwriters-guitarist Bob Mould and drummer Grant Hart-the genre-bending trio (bassist Greg Norton completed the lineup) juxtaposed hardcore punk speed and aggression with pop-leaning melodies. Add their uniformly thoughtful, introspective lyrics, and you’ve got this stunning 1984 double-length release, a semi-concept album about youthful rites of passage. It includes such memorable tracks as Mould’s ‘Broken Home, Broken Heart’ Hart’s ‘Never Talking to You Again,’ and the evocative 14-minute instrumental closer, ‘Reocurring Dreams.’Tracklisting: A1 Something I Learned Today (1:58) A2 Broken Home, Broken Heart (2:01) A3 Never Talking To You Again (1:39) A4 Chartered Trips (3:33) A5 Dreams Recurring (1:40) A6 Indecision Time (2:07) A7 Hare Krsna (3:33) B1 Beyond The Threshold (1:35) B2 Pride (1:45) B3 I’ll Never Forget You (2:06) B4 The Biggest Lie (1:58) B5 What’s Going On (4:23) B6 Masochism World (2:43) B7 Standing By The Sea (3:12) C1 Somewhere (2:30) C2 One Step At A Time (0:45) C3 Pink Turns To Blue (2:39) C4 Newest Industry (3:02) C5 Monday Will Never Be The Same (1:10) C6 Whatever (3:50) C7 The Tooth Fairy And The Princess (2:43) D1 Turn On The News (4:21) D2 Recurring Dreams (13:47) Tracks1 Something I Learned Today2 Broken Home, Broken Heart3 Never Talking to You Again4 Chartered Trips5 Dreams Reoccurring6 Indecision Time7 Hare Krsna8 Beyond the Threshold9 Pride10 I’ll Never Forget You11 Biggest Lie12 What’s Going on13 Masochism World14 Standing By the Sea15 Somewhere16 One Step at a Time17 Pink Turns to Blue18 Newest Industry19 Monday Will Never Be the Same20 Whatever21 Tooth Fairy and the Princess22 Turn on the News23 Reoccurring Dreams
