My first taste of the Replacements was really just Paul Westerberg - his song Dyslexic Heart was included on the previously mentioned mixed-tape from my "cool" older cousin. I wonder how much of my music exposure was a solo artist pointing me backwards to the band they'd previously been a part of?
"dyslexic heart" and "love untold" are probably the biggest reasons that i didn't get into the replacements for a long time.
I'll admit, there's not much similarity. Still, to a 12-year-old, it was a pretty edgy song and the album it came from (the Singles Soundtrack) had a bunch of stuff that was new to me. As I've said before, Nirvana and other grunge acts were a revelation.
i was subjected to those 2 songs over and over (and over and over) again thanks to my then employer's "only cities 97" policy. i probably still wouldn't have liked those songs, but that made me loathe them.
Yeah, I've never tried the Replacements because of how annoyingly those two Westerberg tracks interrupted my Singles OST.
I don't think anything is worse than that horrible Zeppelin cover by Heart by a different name.
I've only gotten into the Replacments recently. "Our Band Could Be Your Life" has opened up so many musical doors lately.
i've been randomly inspired recently to go back and start listening to stuff i should have been listening to all along. there's let it be, just started listening to everything falls apart, and i just picked up paul's boutique.
Like. Like. Like......hmm, thought you meant this which is also a "Like", but considering the context and actual title, you probably meant this.
I tried so hard to get into the Roots, never could.
But I really dug "Table of Contents"
It was a case of "right place, right time" for me.
