The Replacements (continued)
Jackson is right. Don't Tell A Soul may be the best Replacements record.
Back in the 80s, when these guys were all over my turntable (that's right, they were vinyl guys for me), it was Let It Be, Tim, and Pleased To Meet Me that did it best.
But as I've immersed myself in The Replacements over the past week, the record I keep coming back to is Don't Tell A Soul.
It has aged better. It's a real Talent Show.
This album souns like it was written for a sixteen year old female Cure fan. I mean written right at her, it's great.

Great post! As a long time 'Mat fanatic, I've always thought this album grows and grows on you. Achin to Be, Darlin One, and, of course, I'll Be You (what a great freakin song!). Just brilliant. Glad to know others think the same, and its not blasphemy to think something other than Let It Be (which is great too) mught be their pinnacle
