Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 OR Which do you like best? Also I've only heard these two, for some reason I've not listened to the others. Does that make me an idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Let It Be, by a nose. I love Tim too though. Sorry Ma... is great too, and the opening track of the Stink EP is so good. Snotty as fuck, but not much like the band they went on to be. Punk bands evolved incredibly quickly in the 80's. You should listen to more. All Shook Down is the only weak link, which is pretty much a Westerberg solo album anyway. everything else is banging. I'd definitely recommend you give Hootenanny and Pleased to Meet Me a go.

Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think I'd put Tim just ahead. However if we were to split the albums into halves, the back half of Let It Be would come out on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Hootenanny and Pleased to Meet Me are my favourite Replacements records. Pretty much everything they've released has moments of greatness but those 2 are the most consistently great for me.This doesn't answer your question though, so Tim - because of Tommy Ramone.

Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I feel like other people have recommended Hootenanny to me before so I'll make that the top of the list to listen to next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 It is all about "Let it Be" for me. The 33rd & a 3rd book written by Colin Meloy is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eupraxia Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 The Replacements are pretty wonderful, and between Tim and Let It Be, I would opt for the latter; even if some of the songs do sound a little derivative, jokey and gimmicky in some contexts. But it has Unsatisfied, which is a stoating little ditty. I think Pleased to Meet Me always deserves a mention and a listen, even if it is largely just for Alex Chilton, which is a fine pop song. Love a bit of The Replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
