The Greatest Music
Copper Blue
by Sugar
The 771st greatest album of all time
Copper Blue is Sugar's 1992 debut led by Bob Mould after his time with Hüsker Dü. The album fuses alternative rock and power-pop with loud, layered guitars, crisp production, and strong, hook-driven songwriting; abrasive textures sit alongside melodic choruses. Tracks such as "If I Can't Change Your Mind" and "Helpless" exemplify the record's combination of urgency and tunefulness, and it is commonly noted as a key statement in Mould's post-Hüsker Dü work.
