Ever get mad that you found out about a song years after the point?
The Replacements had a bunch of hits that I didn't know about, but Alex Chilton can get stuck in my head all day.
Paul Westerberg of "Singles" fame more recently is the lead singer which almost makes you feel bad that the last Replacements song that you remember is a crappy version of "I'll be you"
Anyway, Download this song, it rocks.
Until tomorrow, We are DEVO

the replacements are an awesome band. alex chilton rules.
try check out their one and only appearance on saturday night live on youtube if it's there. apparently they were hammered and belligerent. and the band all switched clothes with each other in between songs for no real reason.
quote:* The influential alternative group The Replacements were banned from the show due to their behavior after they appeared on the show on January 18, 1986 to promote their first album with Sire Records, Tim. When it came time for them to perform their first number, "*******s of Young," they were intoxicated and several cast members were unsure whether they could perform. Lead singer Paul Westerberg would further aggravate circumstances when he yelled "****" to the crowd during "*******s of Young". The band went on to perform one more song, "Kiss Me on the Bus".
Note: In subsequent rebroadcasts of this episode, the "****" is censored out of "*******s of Young." Lead singer Paul Westerberg returned as a solo musical guest and Bassist Tommy Stinson is featured on a playbill during commercial breaks during the most recent season.
