Such a fun, eclectic album that has moments on almost every song that are so audacious that it makes my jaw drop. Just heartwarming to have someone who has been in the industry far longer than I've been alive able to so clearly get excited about new music!!

Untitled is also worth throwing in that list too. You can see hints at what they would make with Only Love and then Ultrapop. The stuff fans did during the ramp up to releasing Ultrapop has had to help. Crowdfunding billboards in a bunch of major cities, including Time Square for instance. I’m pretty sure they had less than 20k-25k monthly listeners back when I found out about them before Untitled dropped, and now it’s 83k for example. The next step is likely shows. I can’t wait to see them again in January. Fingers crossed things improve the world over by then, and all the new fans can get out to see them.

Personally, I think it’s absolutely on the same level as far as being just a goddang great album, just as fun as Uktrapop imo, and I may even like it more than Only Love, though that’s not to put that album down, merely it’s to put Untitled on that higher level, even if it may not be as innovative as what came after, or as remembered as being brilliant in future conversations on the band.

Great to hear Bob considers Pete Shelley an inspiration

I grew up in Wisconsin an hour and a half from Minneapolis. You can't understand how influential Husker Du was. I was in high school when Husker was at their peak. It was glorious. Add other Minneapolis bands like The Suburbs, The Flamin' Ohs, and The Replacements....and you had SO much fantastic music to be influenced by.

I love how open minded and up to date he is with newer trends and sub genres

Bob should do a metal album and call it "Black Mould".

This man is such a living gem.

Bob Mould speaking positively of Daft Punk (my favorite music group of all time), and name dropping Kurt Ballou (I also love Converge a lot) made me so insanely happy.

Bob is so inspiring. I love all his guitar eras. Even respect him for exploring dance and electronica - he's a true artist and genuine musician

He’s up on every bit of the latest underground everything from the last 40 years when most people his age gave up a long time ago.

What a cool dude. I've got always got Copper Blue in my "bag".

This was great!! Thanks!!!!!

This was already incredible, but that closing one-two punch of Dua Lipa and fuckin' ULTRAPOP just put it on another level. It's rare one of these actually increases my respect for an artist (taste is taste! liking stuff I like is neat but not, like, _commendable_) but the way he talks about all of these records here is worthy of that respect. Bob Mould rules.

Learned a lot of new music watching this...thanks!

I love how Bob still keeps up to date with modern music!

I didn’t truly discover Hüsker til last year, when my friend left a copy of “New Day Rising” in my car. Not only do I now hear echoes of them from old Green Day to Title Fight, but their music is SO fucking surreal. I love so much classic hardcore, like DK and Black Flag and that whole list, but I never heard something AS dirty, AS angry, and yet… somehow, RICH with melody that the lofi audio only compliments. Fucking incredible jem of a band.

Bob Mould is legend and I loved the Kurt Ballou shout out!

That was predictably amazing. Some really unexpected choices. Legends a bit of a trite description usually, but utterly deserved in Uncle Bob’s case.

Thank you, Bob!

Bob Moulds first two 'solo' album's (Workbook & Black Sheets Of Rain) were the album's I wore out.Those two albums taught me how to write and arrange tunes. So I owe you a lot Bob.

He looks great for his age! We love you Bob!🤘🏻🤘🏻

So refreshing to see someone (my fav artist actually) do the "What's In My Bag?" segment without choosing the most obscure stuff that no-one knows just to appear cool or contrarian. If you know his music, you know he loves pop records just as much as everything he's influenced directly. One of the best!

Bob, I caught you and Grant and Greg at the Channel in Boston in the fall of 84, you guys brought it and then some, keep on keeping on ,you get with better and better with age.

Great list! I don't know why but I've never listened to the Buzzcocks, but I am definitely going to check them out now!

Very interesting LPs and CDs I've never heard before! I may check em out on streaming to see if I want to buy some of them, maybe!

That’s not disco. Fake music

That's really awesome, if the Buzcocks were tripping onstage. They never struck me as a particularly psychedelic band, but it makes sense, in an odd way. I love that Bob Mould is still into the old punk rock that he was into as a kid.

I've been a Mould/Husker Du fan since the early 90s. Only got to see him once and it was an acoustic show. He still rocked harder than most full electric bands. The best thing about his music is that his writing style is so distinct that it's immediately clear when you hear one of his songs. Doesn't matter if it's off his electronic-ish Modulate or, say, District Line. It immediately shouts "This is Bob Mould"

Excellent selections

He looks so good and healthy makes me Happy! Still puts on a killer show

Loveless changed my life forever, too! They say that you can’t take it with you, but this one is the exception. Revolver may have to go with me, as well, but if I could only take one I may have to rely on a coin toss.

Amazed about the fact he's so familiar with chill wave. Great taste in music overall

Bob Mould has an amazing discography going right back to the start of Husker Du in 1979. You could have a great day in Amoeba (providing they are in stock of course!) scouring for his albums.
