No, that would be The Cure, or possibly REM by virtue of them being more successful/popular/accessible

The Replacements had a much more divisive appeal to them, so it'd be stupid to call them the buttrock of their field. What is there that would even suggest that? The fact that /mu/ generally likes them so they're hipster shit?

>>69205742
I don't care they were the best

Just listened to a few songs and it's clear that Kurt Cobain copped his vocal style from this.

They weren't nearly popular enough for that.

You could say that about that about the entire album really. Only thing that comes close is Big Star.

>>69205742
Jane's Addiction, if they count

I don't get the appeal of Them.

anyone else think paul westerberg is a fucking great rhythm guitarist? i've never seen him praised on it but it seems obvious

>>69210490

This is very true.

I used to think all the good guitar shit came from Bob but I think Paul just mellowed out on later albums.

>>69210597
yeah his playing is rarely even that noticeable and in your face but if you listen closely you can really tell it's vital to the songs and he's doing way more than just holding down the chord progression
hence great rhythm player

>>69208571
Wasn't I'll Be You a big hit and a few of the other later singles went Number 1 on modern rock charts?

>>69208704
The Replacements are great, but they never wrote a song as good as Thirteen- which is fine because Big Star never had a record as good as Let It Be, Tim, or Pleased to Meet Me.

Unsatisfied I'd say. Let It Be just really gets to you
