My Take
Grant Hart fascinates me precisely because he refused the usual rock template. A drummer who also sang lead in Husker Du, he carried melody from the back of the stage, then pushed himself forward with Intolerance and the guitar-driven Nova Mob. To me, he was the quieter, more melodic counterweight in one of America's great underground bands, and history has been slow to give him full credit. I admire artists who keep reinventing their role rather than coasting on a signature sound. His Minnesota roots gave the work a plainspoken honesty, and that craftsman's sincerity, I think, is exactly why his songs keep aging well.
