      It was amazing and emotional music, particularly Husker Du and Bob’s haunting guitar sound. People didn’t understand punk. There is so much good music from that time. I’m so glad I lived through that time with friends I still have to this day.

    When I was a freshman at UConn in 1987 my roommate was on the dorm intramural soccer team. The rest of the guys would go off to the field but he would linger behind... He would kick me out of our room and put on this song and bounce off the walls for 3-4 minutes, then sprint off to the field like a madman to catch up on time with the game.

    Best reimagining of a Byrds song ever, bristles with power. Should be required viewing for any young band. Hüsker Dü took the European atmospherics (in Bob's guitar) and showed people like U2's the Edge that American rockers can make this kind of music too. Grant's drumming is crisp and effortless and Greg is really laying it down too. Big finish at 2:59 is pure exiliration and I dare any expert writer to try to transcribe it: life and joy, mi amigos!
