The Replacements

Yea, so what can you really say about The Replacements? They were fucking amazing in every aspect. Early more punk rock stuff to later college rock stuff...it was all great. What a buch of fuck-ups too... all the drinking and drugs. Bob Stinson drank himself to death. Tommy Stinson is in GNR now I guess. Paul is making some pretty cool solo shit, and writing soundtracks for Disney movies...I don't know what to write...I'll copy and paste some Wikipedia stuff that sounds cool to me;

"The band turned up drunk to many of their legendary live shows, performing chaotic cover songs that revealed their love of classic rock. ^[1] Nonetheless, Trouser Press claimed that they were, "for a time, the world's greatest rock'n'roll band."

"During this time, they acquired an "anti-video" reputation. The video for "Bastards of Young" featured nothing more than a single shot of a speaker, while "The Ledge" (which MTV would not play on account of the lyrical themes) featured the band sitting around in a room with chairs and a sofa doing nothing in particular."

"The band was infamous for their rowdy, drunken shows. Sometimes the band would show up too drunk to play their own songs, and instead play covers, which they were also too drunk to play. It was not uncommon for them to play entire sets of covers, ranging anywhere from Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" to Dusty Springfield's "The Look of Love"
