Hüsker Dü

 

 

Hüsker Dü or Dü not, there is no try.  From Minnesota, like fellow punks the Replacements.  But unlike Westerberg, Bob Mould never really strayed too far from his original sound.  There are some very melodic gems buried under layers of distortion in the HD catalog.  Even a move to a major label didn't change their sound... which was unfortunate in that they had the same crappy drum sound their whole career.
