Copper Blue is the classic 1992 debut album by Sugar. Front man Bob Mould had sung and played guitar for seminal midwest punks Husker Du, openly acknowledged by the likes of Nirvan a and the Pixies as a huge influence. Following their break-up and two well-received solo albums, Sugar saw Bob return to a band set-up, signing to the iconic Creation label and scoring indie chart hits with 'A Good Idea', 'Changes', 'Helpless' and 'If I Can't Change Your Mind'. Copper Blue's ebullient collection of richly melodic and anthemic songs saw Bob triumphantly reclaim an alternative rock legacy he had helped create. The album went in at number 10 in the UK album charts and was NME's album of the year. Show more
