Husker Du's best album
 

I don't own any of their albums, which would be the best to get first?

Husker Du Rocks!!!

All their stuff is fuckin great

zen arcade

Personally I like Metal Circus and Candy Apple Grey.

Do you want their best, or a good place to start?

Best: Zen Arcade
Good place to start: Candy Apple Grey

Thanks, guys. I will buy either Candy Apple Grey or Zen Arcade tomorrow assuming it's in stock. Perhaps i'll buy both.

I used to like Zen Arcade best but now my favourite has to be New Day Rising

Aaagh! Serious memory failure. Good place to start should be Flip Your Wig. Candy Apple Grey is good, but I prefer Wig.

i would start at flip your wig. candy apple was ok, wherehouse would be better if half the songs were dropped.

my favorite is new day rising, though i love zen & land/speed.

Best: New Day Rising

Buy: Land Speed Record
Metal Circus
Zen Arcade

Maybe: Everything Falls Apart
Flip Your Wig

Don't bother: Candy Apple Grey
Warehouse: Songs & Stories

In my opinion.

Zen Arcade to me.

land speed record

I really like Warehouse, there are some really nice melodies on there.

it's that time of the month already?

land speed record or die, the others are for pussies.

zen arcade is the only one i know well but new day rising is good too

Daydream Nation.

I've only got Warehouse, and I quite like it...

sorry to crap on this thread but EEWWW

candy apple grey sounds so 80's in a very bad way-- in a way that makes me feel this music didn't survive its own time-- horribly dated!

I forgot to mention that unless you saw them in 85 (like me :)), you cannot truly appreciate the Du like me.

Nope, you're not a trueDu fan.

This dude knows what he's talkin about^
*he was in the band*

Zen Arcade is nice but I also like Metal Circus.

Warehouse makes me happy and nauseas at the same time.

Go with Zen Arcade. The best place to start is Metal Circus, but it's so damn short you'd probably feel done if you payed a lot for it.

PErsonally I say New Day Rising is a great album to start with. Definitely not Candy Apple Grey.

Bah I never really liked 'Zen Arcade'...' Warehouse..' is one of my favourites alongside with 'Flip your Wig'...

Zen Arcade

Only own Flip Your Wig. Never really got into it.

That's because it's mediocre.

Try Metal Circus or New Day Rising.

Uhh I went into the shop and they only had Warehouse. I went on a trek around the centre for Zen Arcade and some store is stocking in a few days. So until then...

thanks, i'll also look into buying one of those. they're like 25 euros in this record store :(

Zen Arcade is a long time fav for me.

Land Speed Record may turn a newbie off, due to it's bootleg like quality. If you wanna check out their more Hardcore side, Everything Falls Apart is pretty great to my ears. There are some great bonus tracks on the cd reissue (In A Free Land being one of my all time favorite songs).

I bought Zen Arcade (not from the store who said they had it stocked however). I'm listening now, what should I buy next assuming I like it?

well that album is absolutely all over the place so with regards to that i'll definitely say get Metal Circus next. i really dont know what some of these people are on about. Zen Arcade is their best hands down no contest. i think theyre really just being contrary. Metal Circus is pretty short so youre not really going to get much of a fix so i'd go with Everything Falls Apart after this. My 4th fav is Land Speed Record. ive never understood the complaints about the recording quality. it sounds fine. but if you dont like sraight up old style hardcore well thats what it is. completely different sound from the other records. everything falls apart is in no way a hardcore record the way this one is. peopel who dont like hardcore can enjoy that one but its absolutely not the case with Land Speed Record.

i'm actually not a real big fan of anything else theyve done. New Day Rising is a completely inept and feeble follow up to a monument like Zen Arcade. I Apologize?! you fucking better because that song is not worthy to lick the boots of the worst song on Zen Arcade.

I love New Day Rising and think I Apologize is a brilliant song. Inept? Ha.

Well I figure we all have very similar music tastes. Most of my other purchases have been made by my own decision, and because you guys seem to know what you're talking about...

EDIT:
Nice Deluxe Muff, CHOUT. Yours?

Yep, I love it.

It makes my Muff Pi look small and insignificant. Worth the purchase?

:D:D

ok fair enough i'll listen to it again but the last time i played that album was at a party and i had to take it off after that song because it was such a monumental flop. but to be fair it was following daydream nation in its entirety which of course brought down the house.

girl who lives on heaven hill, 59 times the pain, if i told you, celebrated summer, powerline - oh man tons of brilliant songs on New Day Rising.
