The Replacements

[PokerBob]

the greatest band many/most of today's college kids have never heard of. download "Can't Harldy Wait" (the Tim version) and all will be revealed.

my old hangout was the Uptown Bar -

Bob Stinson's mom owned it at one time and they played there sometimes. He lived near uptown, real close to me - (I know the house where they're sitting on the roof - forget which album cover ) -

I sat next to Tommy a few weeks ago and didn't know it - and I know where Bob's bench is (a bench dedicated to him after he passed on near Lake Calhoun)

but I never saw them - they self destructed before I came to MN - I heard it was like going to watch a televised execution, or it could be the greatest show ever - you just never knew, apparently.

Personally -- Westerburg's writing never did it for me - the bad was ok - and the vibe was great, esp. for the 80's but the music doesn't do a lot for me - I keep thinking of them as a poor man's version of the Goo Goo Dolls (before the Goo Goo Dolls became a poor man's version of the Replacements) -

I prefer to remember the Goo Goo Dolls (or "The Goo" as lame people called them) as "Sexpot".

p.s. Man The Goo sucks.

I really thought albums 3-5 kicked ass....everything since is dogshit.

I honestly don't know anything about them other than some songs they had on the radio since 98 (maybe 97). Oh, and I watched a Behind the Music on them as well (not because i like them, but because I will watch this show no matter who the band is).

But, as a peace offering, I do like the lead singer of your username on here.

yo, that does nothing for me -

Ryan's been a [censored] wanker ever since "Gold" - LOL -

for my money nothing match him and Catlain singing in harmony, she on violin - Pneunomia is one of my all time favorite albums -

Heartbreaker was pretty good too - and after that he became a rock star and totally screwed the pooch.

Whiskeytown, and others-

Who did "Closing Time?" It got a lot of local airtime and I think it's burned into my brain.
