Throwback Thursday: The Replacements
For this week's Throwback, I decided to go with one of those 80's bands that pretty much everbody has heard of, but few people are actually familiar with. The Replacements were a band from Minneapolis, MN that fromed in 1979 and saw their demise in 1991. They were mainstays on 80's college radio and many of their songs and lyrics have been fixtures in pop culture ever since. If you are familar with them, enjoy this trip down memory lane. If you aren't, this is your chance to become acquainted.

awesome choice! i've heard there's been talk of a reunion since those new tracks on the best of. i've always been partial to "little mascara" for some reason.
Hey, nice post. Great to see the Replacements getting some lovin'. Come check out my new music blog - www.popheadwound.blogspot.com, I just ran a big article on TIM, and posted a bunch of rarities from that time period. You'll probably enjoy. Thanks, later
There was some unconfirmed talk late last year of Paul and Tommy getting together to record a new album, possibly under the Replacements' name, but now that Westerberg has hurt his hand and can't play guitar for a year, who knows ...
