Candy Apple Grey is the fifth studio album by the American alternative rock band Hüsker Dü, released in 1986 through Warner Bros. Records.

Candy Apple Grey also marks the completion of the band's transition from hardcore punk to a more well-rounded sonic style which would later come to be known as alternative rock.

As usual, Bob Mould and Grant Hart individually wrote tracks on the album.

While the band's earlier, more frenetic style is still evident, Candy Apple Grey also features more introverted, toned-down material, including a relatively large amount of acoustic guitar.

Candy Apple Grey was the first Hüsker Dü album to chart on the Billboard Top 200, but despite receiving exposure on radio as well as MTV, it peaked at No.
