Is Your Favorite Album A Replacements Album?

[dee]

Mine is.It's TIM!!!

[4x8]

It is always way too hard to pick one favorite of anything, but I would have to say my favorite Replacements album is Let It Be and it would land in my top 10 of all albums.

[gowhileucan]

Let it Be is my fave album of all time by any artist. Tim and PTMM are somewhere in the top..........20? or 30?

[Placemat]

Hoot.

Not their best, but my fav.

[holeinthedrapes]

No. It's very difficult to beat Born To Run in my book.

In my mind I think Darkness On The Edge Of Town is better,but when I actually listen to Born To Run I know I'm wrong.

Let It Be is definitely in my top 5, as is London Calling and The Who Live at Leeds. My music collection is so huge I probably need a Top 1000

[Jer]

For me, Exile on Main St is right up there in the top 2 or 3, with Tim and Quadrophenia.

I like Tim better than LIB, but think LIB is the better album, all things considered.

Yeah, Born To Run is as close to a perfect record as they come. Front to back. For Bruce, Nebraska is the one that really gets me, but BTR is flawless. Saw him play that in its entirety last year in Detroit.

[Man Who Never Learned to Fly]

Let it Be is probably my favorite Mats' record. It's up there in my Top Five of all time, but my favorite of all time is probably the White Album. London Calling is up there too. Fun House by the Stooges, If I Should Fall From Grace With God by the Pogues.

[deebee76]

My top three albums of all-time are Exile on Main Street, Pleased To Meet Me and Ooh La La, in any order you wanna put 'em!

[mrjohns]

Another vote for "Exile" here........

[gah]

Tim is my favourite, followed by New Day Rising, London Calling, Black Love, and Maxinquaye.

[redredwine]

Creep 66 - agreed! London Calling is #1 followed by Tim and then This Year's Model, well at least today.....

Nebraska really gets me, too. It seems almost impossible to define favorite, but Nebraska has got to be the album that I've listened to most often in my life. 4-5 times a week for years straight at one point.

1) sticky fingers/exile on main street 2)blonde on blonde/hwy 61 revisited 3)let it be/tim

[worldclassfad]

Im not too sure I could ever pick an all time favorite album, but if I did and it was a Mats album it would definatly be Let It Be, followed quickly by Sorry Ma. Speaking of 80's gems ive been getting really into 'Ghost Stories' by The Dream Syndicate, 'Outburst' by The Nomads and 'Color Appreciation' by Plasticland as of lately. They're also on the list.

[DuluthToMadison]

Yep, "Tim" is definitely my desert island album. If I could bring a few more I'd have to have "To Far to Care" by the Old 97's, "Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc." by Dwight Yoakam and "Exile On Main Street" narrowly over "Sticky Fingers". Rocks Off is still my favorite Stones song. It's tough to write a better line than "The sunshine bores the daylights out of me". "1372 Overton Park" by Lucero has a chance to join this list in the future.....too soon to tell yet.

[FreeRider]

That's a tough one...there are so many great albums and certain things fit certain moods or mindsets. From the Who's "Live at Leeds" to Townshends "Empty Glass", to Neil Young's "After the Goldrush", Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks", etc.. I can't choose a favorite let alone decide if a Mats album is my fave!

[timtoast]

Let's throw in the Violent Femmes' first album, shall we? I just love me some Femmes....

[4x8]

...Rubber Soul, Cosmo's Factory, Are You Experienced?, Give Em Enough Rope, Houses of the Holy, Wowee Zowee, Marquee Moon, Doolittle , Black Sheets of Rain............
