The Replacements

I was extremely pleased, when following the pulse of the rockband forums, to witness an evolution. The song, "Alex Chilton" was offered by many before the game came out, as one of the songs people were not looking forward to. Some even referred to the song as "filler." Once the game came out, that doubt and indifference blossomed up into actual admiration, with many claiming that "Alex Chilton" was the song that they were most pleased with. This made the music gods (and me) very happy.

Anyway,
To further push the "The Replacements are amazing " cause, i decided to put together a mix that showcases the many styles of music The Replacements covered during their strange career. They started out a pure punk band, as evidenced by songs like "Kids Don't Follow" and "We're Coming Out", moving their way through 80s alt pop rock, like the aforementioned "Alex Chilton", as well as classics like "Bastards of Young" and "Anywhere is Better than Here."
they evolved into a singer-songwriter/alt-country band.

Live, they were a force. They were completely unpredictable, mainly in part to the massive quantities of alcohol they would consume before, during, and after their sets. They could be amazing or sloppy, their set lists could include "The hits" or random covers.

Paul Westerberg (vocals,guitar) still records solo albums, most notably 14 Songs, which contained 2 songs that stood out on the Singles movie soundtrack,"Waiting for Somebody" and "Dyslexic Heart." He also pulled off writing and performing the songs on the "Open Season" soundtrack, including "Love You in the Fall" (check it out!)

Bob Stinson (guitar) passed away within the last few years

Tom Stinson (bass) , his brother, is known for being the bass player in Guns N Roses 2.0, despite getting into a public feud with Axl at a show.

Chris Mars (drums) is currently an artist, doing art shows and galleries and art-type arty things.

Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah

A Chicago based Trio consisting of bassist Mitch Aliotta, pianist John Jeremiah and guitarist Skip Haynes (and on the debut drummer Ted Aliotta). They had a moderate hit in 1971 with Lake Shore Drive. The song was a tribute to the famous lakefront road in Chicago, but its initials L.S.D. make the song have a double meaning. The album of the same name celebrated it's 25th Anniversary in 1996. There songs go from soft and gentle (For Eddy, Snow Queen), to loud and fast (Lake Shore Drive, Midnight Plane to Nairobi), to just silly (Uppers and Downers, Beam Me Up Scotty). Enjoy the sounds of Chicago area Rock.

For Eddy
I Am A Robber
Beam Me Up Scotty
