Bob Mould
Robert Arthur Mould (born October 16, 1960) is an American musician, principally known for his work as guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for alternative rock bands Hüsker Dü in the 1980s and Sugar in the 1990s.
Hüsker Dü
Hüsker Dü was an American rock band formed in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1979.
 The band's continual members were guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, bassist Greg Norton, and drummer/vocalist Grant Hart.
 Hüsker Dü first gained notability as a hardcore punk band, later crossing over into alternative rock.
 Mould and Hart were the principal songwriters for Hüsker Dü, with Hart's higher-pitched vocals and Mould's baritone taking the lead in alternating songs.
Magnapop
Magnapop is an American rock band based in Atlanta, Georgia.
 Formed in 1989, the band has consistently included songwriting duo Linda Hopper as vocalist and Ruthie Morris on guitar.
 Magnapop first achieved recognition in the Benelux countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg through the festival circuit and have remained popular in Europe throughout their career.
 After modest success in the United States in the mid-1990s with the singles "Slowly, Slowly" and "Open the Door" and a series of albums produced by Michael Stipe, Bob Mould, and Geza X, the band went on an extended hiatus due to the dissolution of their record label.
 They returned with a new rhythm section in 2005 on the Daemon Records release "Mouthfeel".
 The band has continued to perform and record since this reunion and have self-released two more albums.
 Magnapop's musical style is noted for blending the pop vocals and melodies of Hopper with the aggressive, punk-influenced guitar-playing of Morris and her back-up vocal harmonies. Candy Apple Grey
Candy Apple Grey is the fifth album by the alternative rock band Hüsker Dü, released in 1986.
 It was their first major label album, though Warner Bros. had initially lobbied to release "Flip Your Wig" until the band decided to let SST have it.
 "Candy Apple Grey" also marks the completion of the band's transition from hardcore punk to a more well-rounded sonic style which would later come to be known as alternative rock or college rock.
 As usual, Bob Mould and Grant Hart individually wrote tracks on the album.
 While the band's earlier, more frenetic style is still evident, "Candy Apple Grey" also features more introverted, toned-down material, including a relatively large amount of acoustic guitar. Copper Blue
Copper Blue is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Sugar.
 It was voted 1992 Album of the Year by the NME.
 All of the songs were written by guitarist/vocalist Bob Mould, who also co-produced with Lou Giordano.
 The song "The Slim" is about losing someone to AIDS.
 Musically, the band continues the thick punk guitar of Mould's previous band, Hüsker Dü, while slowing the tempo and emphasizing melody even more. Workbook (album)
Workbook is the 1989 debut solo album by American guitarist and singer Bob Mould, following the breakup of the influential rock band Hüsker Dü.
 The album has a strong folk influence and lighter overall sound than he had been known for up to that point, although heavy guitar still features occasionally.
 Drummer Anton Fier and bassist Tony Maimone, both of Pere Ubu fame, served as Mould's rhythm section on the album and on the subsequent live shows.
 The single "See a Little Light" was a hit on the US Modern Rock chart. Warehouse: Songs and Stories
Warehouse: Songs and Stories (1987) is the sixth and final studio album by alternative rock band Hüsker Dü, originally released by Warner Bros.
 Records as a double album on two vinyl LPs.
 The band dissolved following the tour in support of its release, in part due to disagreements between songwriters Bob Mould and Grant Hart over the latter's drug use.
 This album, along with "Candy Apple Grey", showcases the increasing maturity of Mould and Hart's writing—a change which alienated some long-time fans.
 This album is also known for its battle between the two songwriters, with Mould famously telling Hart that he would never have more than half of the songs on a Hüsker Dü album. Hüsker Dü discography

 Hüsker Dü broke up in 1987.
 The band released 5 albums, including two double albums, between January 1984 and January 1987. The Hugh Beaumont Experience
The Hugh Beaumont Experience was a punk rock band from Fort Worth, Texas.
 The band's original lineup was Brad Stiles on vocals, Tommie Duncan on guitar, Clay Carlisle on bass, and Carter Kolba on drums.
 Formed in 1980 by members of the private school, Fort Worth Country Day School, in Fort Worth, they toured throughout Texas in 1981-82, including dates with MDC and The Dead Kennedys.
 Their nascent success was short-lived, however; the band had broken up by 1983, having released just one 7-inch called "Cone Johnson EP" (now a collector's item) and a cassette called "Virgin Killers".
 (This material was re-released in 1993 on Existential Vacuum Records; They also did a recording session with Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü.) Poison Years
Poison Years is a compilation album by Bob Mould, who had been the guitarist and co-vocalist of the influential American rock band Hüsker Dü.
 It is essentially a condensed version of Mould's first two solo albums on Virgin Records, "Workbook" (1989) and "Black Sheets of Rain" (1990), and was released in mid-1994 after Mould had achieved considerable success with his new band Sugar.
 It contains 6 (out of 11) studio tracks from "Black Sheets" and 5 (out of 11) tracks from "Workbook", of which 3 are previously unreleased live versions.
 In addition, the album contains a studio outtake from the "Workbook" period, "All Those People Know", a live version of another non-album track, "If You're True", and a live cover version of "Shoot Out The Lights" from the eponymous 1982 album by Richard and Linda Thompson.
