  1. 1. Hüsker Dü or Nirvana?



Recommended Posts

Who will get your vote in this matchup?

 

Some time ago I have made a matchup between Nirvana and one of their biggest influences - Pixies. Now it is Hüsker Dü, also one of Nirvana's music predecessors.

 

When it comes to my preference here - Hüsker Dü by a long way, just based on their album Zen Arcade which blows any Nirvana album away IMO.

Loved the Hüskers before I'd heard anything by Nirvana so they'll always be my pick. A much larger and more varied discography too.

 

No doubting Kurt and co's ability to elevate that kind of music to the mainstream though.

Although I know the name, I don't know anything by Husker Du. I'm going with Nirvana.

Or for something more accessible, yet still great...

My brother's schoolmate was told Hüsker Dü were good and bought Land Speed Record without hearing it. Played it for the first time with mother listening, I don't think she was impressed...

The first one isn't my thing. The second one is fine, but it's not in Nirvana's class IMO.

Nirvana

 

But they are not likely to won most polls for me, even if I am a fan.

Yeah, your mom was probably not in their target market.

TBH, I enjoy both of them a lot. Nirvana has some of the greatest hooks ever, but they released an awful lot of crap. Huskers were great and adapted (and maybe mellowed) a bit and put out a greater quantity of good stuff (all IMO) but I have to go with Nirvana...
