1989–2026years

Bob Mould, born October 16, 1960, and hailing from Malone, spent the '80s as the guitarist, singer and songwriter of Hüsker Dü, and when that band was done he stepped out under his own name with Workbook in 1989. "See A Little Light" and "Wishing Well" gave his melodies room to breathe, the sound of a punk lifer writing songs that play like confessions.

Black Sheets of Rain in 1990 brought the storm back, all squall and gloom on the title track and "It's Too Late", and then he took his gift for a hook into Sugar in the '90s. He kept coming back to the solo records, though: The Last Dog and Pony Show in 1998 with "Who Was Around?", Modulate. in 2002 with "Sound on Sound", and a late run that has lost none of the fire, from Silver Age and "The Descent" in 2012 through Beauty & Ruin, Patch the Sky and Sunshine Rock to Blue Hearts, with "American Crisis", and Here We Go Crazy.

Along the way his records have landed on labels from Warner Bros. and Virgin to Rough Trade, Creation and Merge, and the countdowns still turn up his songs from every stretch of the journey.
