Gone But Forgotten: Sugar - Copper Blue (1992) Album Review

"Gone but forgotten" is an album (sometimes an artist) that was either denied classic status on release or has fallen completely out of the conversation. Alongside The Pixies and Sonic Youth, Bob Mould's 80's act, Hüsker Dü were one of the holy trinity that formed American alternative rock music and especially grunge - his follow up three piece, Sugar, had a fair crack of making some of Grunge's best music. They were certainly acclaimed at the time, but now revisionism of the era tends to bring in acts like Stone Temple Pilots or Alice in Chains - but I barely hear Sugar mentioned, despite Copper Blue being up there with Nevermind, Siamese Dream and Ten as one of the best albums of that first rush, and one that I have always gone back to.
