Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Underneath the ferocity, the abrasiveness and the let’s-call-it-raw production of Hüsker Dü’s “Zen Arcade” lay absolutely fantastic songs. Masterminds Bob Mould and Grant Hart were uncompromising to each other as well as to the world. They didn’t always see eye to eye, but they pushed each other’s creativity, culminating in a monster of an album. 23 songs. It’s a tour de force, steeped in hardcore but too ambitious to be confined by genre boundaries. The birth of alternative rock.
