Bob Mould and Grant Hart wrote tight pop gems, covering them with a guitar noise that other bands are still trying to imitate.

But the group disintegrated within a year and a half as drugs, self-destruction and tensions within the group took their toll in classic rock 'n' roll fashion. Wrapping angst, abandon, and well-crafted pop songs up in a furious guitar squall, Husker Du unwittingly created the template for indie rock -- they made a sound and a legend that continues to haunt the alternative rock world to this day. - Chris SlaterNoise Popen720Sat, 26 Dec 2009 06:43:43 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.796&rws=%2Fhusker-du%2Fdiscography.rss In 1979, three Minneapolis record store kids formed a punk band and named it after a Swedish board game.
