A great song from early alternative/punk band Hüsker Dü's 1986 album Candy Apple Grey. If you enjoy this track I highly recommend you give Hüsker Dü's 1984 album Zen Arcade a listen as well.

The development of alternative is super fascinating, proto punk, punk, post-punk, etc that early days stuff Velvet Underground and oh so much great music under the mainstream that these 80s bands grew up listening to or eventually discovering, then coming up with fresh music bubbling around colleges in the 80s. oh my. So good!
