Notes: A big reason why Hüsker Dü was able to release two great albums in 1985 was because they had two great songwriters. We should've talked about Grant Hart as well as Bob Mould.

It is probably noticeable anyway, but we want to mention that two separate parts of "In Between Days," "Primitive Painters," and "She Sells Sanctuary" were grafted together for the clips we played.

We had to remove the music clips for Marillion's "Heart Of Lothian," Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)," Pet Shop Boys "West End Girls," and Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)" due to copyright reasons.
