Wow, this is bad, as in bad, not good. How the hell it got this rating is beyond me.

no one has replaced these guys yet. Some of the truest rock of the 80's.

Loved seeing them open for Tom Petty when this came out.  They hit the stage and started into their first song before the crew could get the house lights down.

Hmm. Still a 7 but I was surprised to note that I was actually happy to hear it come on. Usually stuff from the last two albums just makes me a little sad. There's something to be said for repetition, I suppose. Even that Tim Buckley song I don't like has crept up a couple of grades over the years.

"So what?  We're bleeding but we ain't cut..."  I still love this song, and this CD.  {#Dancingbanana_2}{#Bananajam}{#Dancingbanana}

Got "Let it Be" and loved it for what it was. Then got sucked into the "don't you love them because of who they are?" and then they got less and less worthy.

There were, though, on this album, some great great tunes - that didn't sound like "Let it Be"

Why does RP ignore the "Twin/Tone years" in The Replacements' catalog (see below)?

Save for their inclusion of  "I Will Dare", there's 47 other Westerberg (occasionally w/the rest of the boys) cuts to groove to from this period (48 if you count the KISS cover!).  At least a few of 'em would certainly be worthy of a spin here or there.

THIS AGGRESSION (against early 80's 'Mats) WILL NOT STAND!

    Ahhh, HFS. Their story sums up the sad-ass state of corp. radio. The first place I heard Paul Westerburg and the boys, back in the "Incredible Music" bumper-sticker days when Weasel and Damien lived up to that tagline.
     

    Ya know it's been reincarnated as WRNR in Annapolis - That is, owned by Damien Einstein's dad.  Great station.

    BTW - What the he!! happened to the Replacements.  What was their demise?

    Yeah, I feel that way sometimes.

    But never about a band as talented as The 'Mats. How's that working out for you? {#Stupid}

    Tom later played "Should I Stay or Should I Go" while sitting on the edge of the side speakers. Good memories from that whole show.
     

    I saw that same tour...it was at the shed at Poplar Creek (R.I.P.) in suburban Chicago.  You could tell they were pissed that none of Petty's fans really gave a rats ass about their set. 

    Later, they (or at least the music press) claimed TP swiped their "Rebel Without a Clue" line for his Into the Great Wide Open song which came out in the early 90's.  Tom claimed he never watched the 'Mats play, and it was just a great "coincidence".
