Why haven't you accepted the fact that The Replacements are the best band of the 1980s yet? Seriously, who's better? Pixies? Sonic Youth? Talking Heads? Husker Du? The Smiths? Minutemen? early Swans? No. The Replacements were everything that was cool about the 1980s rolled up into one band. They were hardcore, post-punk, new wave, alternative, and even started to show some influence from classic metal bands like Judas Priest and Motorhead.
The Replacements > Your Favorite Band
Deal with it.

But Husker Du, Sonic Youth and The Smiths are better than The Replacements opie

Beat Happening
Talulah Gosh

80s King Crimson is my favorite 80s band, but The Replacements are certainly top 5. Gotta put REM up there too

>mfw no one talks about the creators of progressive dreamfunk, the afro proto-post-rock experimental noise dub pop inventors themselves, A.R. Kane
>mfw they'll forever be underrated

Judas Priest and Motorhead were both very active in the 80s and way better than whatever your shitty band did.
mbv though

STOP THIS GAME!

>Pixies
Double yes.
>Sonic Youth
Yes.
>Talking Heads
Sure, but just in the context of the 80s (doesn't count 70s Talking Heads). Also, Remain in Light is better than everything Replacements have done.
>Husker Du
No.
>Smiths
About equal.
>Minutemen
No, but Double Nickels>anything Replacements have done.
>Early Swans
Fuck no. Easily the worst on this list.

Didn't make the one for Talking Heads clear. No, 80s Talking Heads are not better than Replacements.
>>68555235
>>Sonic Youth
>Yes.
kill your self
i love the replacements though
Early 80s belonged to the Wipers. '84 and on I'll give to the Mats and Sonic Youth.
REM is the best band of the 80's. They put out 6 or 7 incredible albums from 1982 - 1988. Probably the best and most consistent run in musical history.
