Yeah they instantly grabbed me as well (not sexual). But I still haven't spent a ton of time with them, granted I don't listen to music anymore.

As a Minnesota native, it’s tough to admit that I don’t get The Replacements.

All my friends liked them, so I had to listen to them constantly, but I always thought they sucked.

I like REM but I certainly don't like them the way I feel like everyone thinks I should. This whole "greatest american rock band of all time" thing is absurd to me. But I do think they made some good music.
