Funny you should mention those - I saw Husker Du live for the first time when I was 12, and the Minutemen were my favorite band when I was a teenager. I cried when D Boon died. I actually hung out with them for a few hours when they passed through town, when I was 15 or so.
Fortunately, Minneapolis had one of the most active punk scenes in those days, so I was able to see Black Flag 3 times, the Dead Kennedys, Bad Brains, the Exploited, the early Butthole Surfers 3 times, the Minutemen 4 times, the Misfits, Samhain, early Soul Asylum, DOA, the Subhumans, the Dead Milkmen, the Meatmen, Naked Raygun at least 5 times, Big Black 4 times, Die Kreuzen 4 times, Urge Overkill, the Flaming Lips, and many, many other great shows. No wonder I had a persistent ringing in my ears in those days!
Among mainstream bands in the '80s, I really really like the Clash, the Police, Prince in all his iterations, New Order, the Pogues, and Los Lobos (OK, I guess they aren't all THAT mainstream, so I'll throw in early Metallica and Van Halen).

Funny you should say that. This is the third time I've had to be envious of you. I wish I could have experienced the underground scene live in it's hayday. I'm actually doing a week long presentation in my american popular music course. It's going to be very fun.
Nah, their best years were in the 70's as well, with Infinity and Evolution ('78-'79) and the 3 LPs before they added Perry.Originally posted by: So
