Episode 27: The Replacements

This week we discuss The Replacements from Minneapolis, MN. Like countless other highly influential rock bands, these guys had a bit of a drug and alcohol problem. However, they still released some wonderful records before crumbling into a mess of drugs and sadness. This is one of the rare instances where Alex and Mike see eye to eye during the whole episode. Sort of.

Closing track: "Answering Machine" from Let It Be (1984)
