A great song from early alternative/punk band Hüsker Dü's 1986 album Candy Apple Grey. If you enjoy this track I highly recommend you give Hüsker Dü's 1984 album Zen Arcade a listen as well.

I believe that without Hüsker Dü, there wouldn’t be alternative and indie music as we know it today. To this day the visceral sound of this band still feels transcendent… I also might be high, but I do love Hüsker Dü a lot.
I've always been more of a Replacements fan but Husker Du's place in the 80s scene is undeniable. I first heard of them when they were featured in a Flipside video. Bob Mould said something about how no matter what else you do, a song has to rock or it's no good. That stuck with me all these years.
The development of alternative is super fascinating, proto punk, punk, post-punk, etc that early days stuff Velvet Underground and oh so much great music under the mainstream that these 80s bands grew up listening to or eventually discovering, then coming up with fresh music bubbling around colleges in the 80s. oh my. So good!
