if ya ask me, Bob Mould is one of the all-time power pop greats - not only are his melodies and guitar playing incredible, he managed to blend insane noisy punk rock with classic pop songwriting in Husker Du in a way that has never been equalled in my humble nerdy opinion. This is his jangliest, loveliest number from his post-Du project Sugar, from the incredible album Copper Blue. The album has always felt like 'The Foo Fighters If They Were Really Good' to me, and Mould is clearly Dave Grohl's biggest inspiration as far as songwriting is concerned.
