Flashlite #812 – Three way tie of coolest albums in 80s undeground

Three albums

Wim Wenders had a movie called “Three American LPs”. Today’s show is about a different set of three American albums that came in 1984. It’s incredible that those are three consecutive releases by one label (SST), in one year and two of them came out as double albums on a same day. Yet, these three are probably the greatest albums of the American underground rock and in my personal opinion, quite possibly three best albums in the entire history of rock’n’roll. At least, such was the influence on the little old me. Today we hear three 20ish minute excerpts from each of those albums and then we explore some covers that other bands made as a tribute to the songs from these three albums. Actually, it’s really strange that there’s not more covers of the songs from this album, given how much they mean to many people who enjoyed exactly 40 years ago. We are listening to Meat Puppets II, Minutemen’s Double Nickels On The Dime and Husker Du’s Zen Arcade.
