Valentine Kisses Top Ten: Kiss Me on the Bus (#6)

The MWS (myLot Weirdo Service) has issued a severe country music watch for tomorrow. Those in the path of headaches caused by country music may want to take shelter with earplugs.

One of my favorite bands from the 80s, the Replacements went from cacophonous crap (I’ve never heard a more appropriately-titled album than The Replacements Stink in my LIFE) to the stunning brilliance of albums like Tim and Pleased to Meet Me. They split up in the early 90s, and founding guitarist Bob Stinson died at a young age from drugs. They were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At the time, I disagreed with it; however, after seeing this year’s list of jokes, I mean nominees, I think they’re more than worthy of induction.
