PS: You might like Hüsker Dü. I don't any of their recordings, but it's nice "soft" rock, very good music.
There is a great book about Husker Du by Andrew Earles, Husker Du: The Story of the Noise-Pop Pioneers Who Launched Modern Rock. I blogged about it and some other rock bio books here,
Among the things I love about Husker Du (there are many) is that while they sometimes seem to repeat themselves within a album, they do not repeat themselves between albums. They constantly changed and did every new thing with the passion of their earliest "too fast to dance too loud to listen" music, even when it included acoustic guitars or keys. Compare this to The Ramones. I have nothing but love for them, too, but the fact is they only had one trick and that's all they did until they retired. Good trick! But just the one.
"Baby I Love You" and "Needles and Pins" don't count. That was wasn't The Ramones. That was Phil Specter with a gun to the head of The Ramones.
