"Cemetry Gates" is probably my favorite Smiths song. Such an amazing album.

You got it.

:eyebrow:


Just kidding. You know that's my favorite album.

I think there's definitely a spot for Let It Be next time. It's definitely, as you state, fitting coming of age stuff. There's the contemplative stuff like "Sixteen Blue" and "Unsatisfied", reflective of someone trying to make sense of the world and life, and then there's base humor like "Gary's Got a Boner". As kids (or, who am I kidding, even now as an old bastard) we go through bouts of discontent and disillusionment, but we're also kind of carefree and wild and crazy. While most bands capture one or the other quite well, few transcend all of it quite like The Replacements.

I was actually in tears as I wrote it, because I had the album on repeat for a good 3 hours or so and it really got to me.

I always associate him with you now because of our first real conversation years ago! Feel special.

:buddies:

Jeremy, as always, your words are eloquent and spot-on. I couldn't have said it better myself. The Replacements are legends, but I still believe they are underappreciated and somewhat unknown legends with anyone under the age of 26. I think this generation and people on this site would really appreciate and connect with their words and emotion. They are such a relatable band. Just average guys making music for average people. They are the every man's band...one that also happens to fucking rock.

nice choice with Demure. I've been RIYL'n that album on here for a while. I consider "Under the Pretense of Present Tense" to be their best album but I can understand why they went with Demure. You can hear that record in a lot of new bands, maybe not intentionally but it's there. Good to see a little VA love on here.

I have a handful of these Refused, Illmatic, and Nevermind are solid choices.

Some great stuff, Pixies, Refused, Husked Du, Smiths, mwY, Nas.

I'm pleased to see Interpol's debut on here. Also Illmatic is probably my favourite hip hop album, so that was a good addition.

Surprised but, again, pleased to see MGB on here as well.
I'm up in the air about Refused's famous last release, some songs I totally understand the love for the album, then sometimes I find myself when the classic parts begin in other songs...

Solid. Need to get some Belle and Sebastian up in here though.

i prefer Tim to Let It Be, they both should be included tho. i'd put a vote in for Pleased To Meet Me as well but some might argue that. i also prefer Sugar to Husker Du, not by too much, but again, no reason both can't be included in time.

yep

The Smiths, Nas, Husker Du and Refused = Good choices

Mmm yes. If You're Feeling Sinister
