Back to the Eighties: Could You be the One


Original video located here. Accessed 1st January 2023

Song title: Could You be the One

Artist: Husker Du

Year: 1987

Why I like this song:

Behold: A band that walked so the Pixies (and subsequently Nirvana) could run

In recent years I've shown an interest in the work of Bob Mould so it is with no surprise that I would eventually come to the band he was a part of in the eighties.

So where do I start with this one? Like many other songs on this list it sounds out of step with the cliche sound of the eighties. It has more energy packed in those two and half minutes that other bands can only dream of. It is a pop song par excellence. It has aged better than a lot of other songs that came out the same year. It's frigging brilliant
