was sonic youth influenced by husker du?

CHOUT · 10.23.2006, 12:35 AM

I've never heard them say they were. I read somewhere that they talked to Bob Mould about signing to a major since he had experience with that.

sonicl · 10.23.2006, 02:56 AM

They started around the same time and were both on SST, so I'm sure they would have been aware of each other, but I see no signs of influence.

BTW Husker Du great fuckin band

Yes, they were mentioned in this song so there's a good chance they were influenced by them.

I think Sonic Youth were influenced by how Husker Du fizzled down to a sad imitation of themselves when they signed to a major and swore that they wouldn't do the same. I believe they didn't either.

fucking boring shit

All the SST bands were probably an inspiration to the Yoot.The fact that these bands lived on floors and in vans and ate dog food to survive helped galvanize the entire scene.The 80's were rough.No internet or national "alt" genre existed for the freaks...you either knew by fanzine/word of mouth or you were lost.
