My best chums had all these, but I went my own way, & bought Pentangle basket of light instead.
I’ve got a copy of that too! Must dig it out for a spin sometime…

The first two albums Sonic Youth and Confusion Is Sex were on Neutral and later licensed and reissued by SST. The Neutral originals are worth a decent whack as you'd expect.Pretty much everything prior to Daydream Nation was SST
Nope. I actually can't stand Husker Du.
No one tell The Captain about Rob Halford...Then he's gay, playing uber-straight-macho-hardcore.
Ah but all the leather & coming on riding that motorbike.. he did always look like Mr.Slave!No one tell The Captain about Rob Halford...
I find it musically an utter assault/ barrage without any subtlety at all
Since we're slightly straying off the Mike Watt topic, if you've never heard it, try out Tar Babies 'No Contest'. SST 169.
I never connected with Sugar, Bob Mould’s or Grant Hart’s solo stuff. My (incomplete) Hüsker Dü collection stops with Warehouse Songs And Stories. I’ve had the later stuff pass through, but it hasn’t survived the various collection purges.
No-one like Sugar Copperblue? Now that is decent & a successful mix of aggression & melody. I think it's equal to the Mould solo song eg above (which I like, but only once the guitar pulls it's finger out & get's going midway thru).
I've got another coat ready. On me chair look.
Really glad you posted this. I'd never heard of fIREHOSE until now. That "..Ragin'.." album is great!A real gem I stumbled upon. The young drummer & Watt are stunning. Two Minutemen songs, & two covers, in 9 mins flat.
Although I'll always have antipathy towards any guitarist 'taking D.Boon's place' (just can't help it) & as such fIREHOSE & onward never floated my boat.. this bucks the trend: I think the guitar & vox low in the mix helps me cope.
