By the time Bob Mould's Sugar debuted with Copper Blue (1992), the grand Grunge barbecue was well underway and the progenitors of the genre were looking to plunge their snouts into the trough.
Hüsker Dü as much as any band can lay claim to having paved the pavement for Grunge when it came along during the Bush I years.
I heard "The Act We Act" this morning and was reminded what a fine song it is.
By 1992 crass commercialism was already suffocating the sound. But Copper Blue along with Dinosaur Jr.'s Where You Been (1993) are two of the finest examples of slickly produced underground rock gone corporate.
