The 'Mats were about as classic as classic gets. Their best stuff was so brilliant, so much better than so many other bands of the same genre that they more than made up for their own mediocre stuff.
Take the hatuhz outside in the backyard and let them have their own darn thread!

Totally fucking classic.
Classic even when they sucked.
Classic even when they put out shit.

The funny thing is, I also grew up near the Twin Cities, and I never had any use for the Replacements until I was in my mid-twenties. One day they just clicked. I'd only heard "Within Your Reach" -- big shout out to the "Say Anything" soundtrack -- and I picked up "Stink" on impulse. I liked it, but it took another year or two before I bought "Let It Be." Then I was hooked. Nowadays, I swap bootlegs and count down until Rykodisc releases the much-delayed Perfect LP.
I have a theory that growing up in the 'burbs sort of immunized me to the local music scene. I thought Limited Warranty was cool, because they were on the radio, but it never occurred to me to venture up Highway 55 to the cities to check out bands. My mistake. It wasn't until I started college (in Saint Paul) that I realized the error of my ways, and by that point the Replacements were old news.
Also, FWIW, Soul Asylum had a nice run there. Hang Time and Grave Dancer's Union were both nice little records, and the Twin-Tone stuff is definitely worth checking out. And that's Dave Pirner yelling at the cops in the beginning of "Kids Don't Follow," so that's already pretty cool.

When I was in elementary, our school had a contest where we had to draw these anti-smoking posters and slogan that we made up....If yours was selected as one of the finalists or winners, you got to go on a field trip to see Limited Warranty play a "Smoke Free Generation" show at the Metrodome! I didn't win.

Hear me cryin' out to youYou said, "Never, never would I leave"Here's a tear from me to youAnd maybe it will make you hear me
I loved youYou didn't feel the sameThough we're apartYou're in my heartGive me one more chance To make it real
In a dream you are hereYou smile and hold me nearAnd in my heart I'll pretendThat you are hear again
Give me one more chanceTo make it real

Dan, don't forget about Limited Warranty's classic tune "Victory Line."
