I love that album. Bought during my cassette period, so I paid twice when I bought the CD.
34-minutes of brazen swagger, spitfire hooks and barely sublimated desperation, the Replacements’ ‘Pleased To Meet Me’ is one of rock and roll’s great underdog passion plays. Bad debts, steep ledges and the flickering of a runaway dream. I’m so in love with that song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftTO...
Wait is that the same world in which "Questioningly" was the 9th consecutive Number One smash hit by the Ramones? (She's the One stalled out low in the top ten; "Howling at the Moon" was their 14th and final Number One). I love that world.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nightclub Jitters anticipates the 90s lounge/rat pack ironic nostalgia. Never Mind the Gen X default shoulder shrug stance. And Skyway, one of the greatest Yearner songs ever. In my stupid hat and gloves a would be Brief Encounter.
All with Jim Dickenson pouring and a horn section
still my favorite
Had R.E.M. been mugged in the studio by Motorhead, it would sound something like Husker Du's 1986 major-label debut 'Candy Apple Grey'. Thirty-seven minutes of abrasive guitars, memorable hooks and zero concessions to mass appeal. The night before the Daydream Nation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOJ6...
Maybe the most overlooked album in the classic Husker Du rub?
