Correct. I feel like they should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. And not because they are one of my favorites. Because they are pioneers.
So much music doesn't exist if this band didn't happen. More than a punk band (and punk is my favorite genre along with hip-hop ... so being "just a punk band" is enough for me).
Huge impact in my life as well. I actually came in when Sugar's "Copper Blue" came out in 1992 (I'm 37, so Husker was over by the time I became aware), which is still in my top 5 rock albums of all time.
"Flip your wig" is my Husker record of choice.
Bob Mould is playing chicago on New Years Eve. I may still get a hotel room and get to the show (doubt it. I'm old and have kids.).
