Let It Be

Not even close, really. 'Let It Be' was groundbreaking and monumental. 'Tim' is great, but only the Replacements 3rd or 4th best. That's my 2 cents.

Comment by Thomas Cruz on September 21, 2011 at 1:01pm: I jumped off when Monster came out, but REM's jangle is in my blood. R.E.M. R.I.P.

Comment by Roy Anderson on January 13, 2011 at 9:11pm: Man, check out this line-up. Wilson Picket one week-- X the next. Soul Asylum, Hoodoo Gurus, Long Ryders, The Blasters; The Pedaljets (Great KC band, still active).

Comment by Heikki on December 11, 2010 at 12:31pm: Leather Nun from Sweden. Somewhat Pale Blue Eyesish. Beautiful. Most of their stuff is garage punkier.

Comment by Heikki on December 10, 2010 at 10:22am: Roy, Closer to hay-key. Finnish to Finnish translation w/ listen button gives you an idea. See http://translate.google.com/#auto|fi|Heikki Finnish-to-English would give a sound closer to hike-key. At the end of the day, I don't mind really.

Comment by Roy Anderson on December 9, 2010 at 11:14pm: Heikki, fits in fine. I have touble placing and categorising certain posts in the 'proper' groups, too. Actually, I thought 'Politti were a straight up 80's 'Romantic' band. 70's? Must dig a lil deeper. Thanks. How do you you pronounce your name? (hay-key)? (hike-key)?

Comment by Heikki on December 9, 2010 at 10:47pm: Naah, doesn't fit in perfectly. To tell the truth, they started as a post-punk band in late 70's. Don't know too much about their back catalog but this dream art pop (?) gem from 2006 sure is fine.
