Ill admit, when he's interviewed he is pretty good to watch, but sadly the misic has become a snorefest. Similar to what happened with Travis. Great 1st album but very mediocre after that.
Husker Du pre-dated the Nirvana era but I reckon they inspired the sound (I think Novoselic was quoted as saying that Husker Du had done everything Nirvana did before they did it). Great band.
I was fortunate enough to see Bob Moulds last 2 visits to these shores for his own headline tours (I didn't see him support Foo Fighters).
