R.I.P. Hüsker Dü's Grant Hart
Well, this sucks. Alongside R.E.M., Hüsker Dü basically invented alternative rock, but they never got the fame they deserved. The string of albums from
Zen Arcade to
Warehouse can stack up favourably against the output of any other '80s act. I'd put Mould and Hart up there with other great songwriting duos like Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards, John/Taupin, Fagen/Becker, and so on (although Mould and Hart usually didn't collaborate).
