Punk vs trash. Discuss.

For me, on attitude alone, the Mats take it for me. As cool as the Huskers could be, those first three albums are hard to listen to. The Mats ran circles around them.

The Mats still resonate with me. Sometimes because it reminds me of who I was at one point. Big Star and a couple Richard Linklater movies have the same effect.

Every time I put on Sorry Ma, its inventiveness surprises me. They had an amazing instinct for how to put together verses and choruses and fills and bits of texture.

The only Husker Du record that I still come back to is Zen Arcade. That one rips. Sugar still strikes me as the better band.

I'm going Dü but "Raised in the City" rules.

Tommy was 15 years old when he laid that bass line down.

I think he was actually 13.
Thirteen.

Husker Du. I never understood the allure of the Replacements.
