Comment:

Since Husker Du is my favorite band, I thought it would be fitting to do a sort-of 'best of' compilation. I didn't base this purely on my >favorites<, but rather what I thought would be their best representative songs.. for someone who doesn't know much about the band. If the band ever put out a 'best-of,' I think it would look something like this, though some of my favorites like "Powerlines," "She's A Woman (Now He is a Man)," "Real World" and "Private Plane" had to be left off due to space constraints..
10/29 added "Eight Miles High"

Oh yes, some cream of the crop Husker Du. My choices would be very similar. Their best songs are on their later albums, and your mix reflects that. I might have snuck one of their great covers in -- Eight Miles High, Love Is All Around or Helter Skelter.

Absolutely no quibbles with any of the selections here, just thought I'd throw in a mention of my personal fave: Charity Chastity Prudence and Hope.
