Heard Zen Arcade for the first time when I was 13, my mind was blown. I remember feeling so fucking sad when I listened to Monday Will Never Be the Same despite it being only 54 seconds of piano.

How do you mention every album but "Everything Falls Apart." That's a rager.

The Replacements are my favorite band, and I know they had a bit of a rivalry but damn the Husker's were great too.

I love that book!! I've read it more than once. The chapters on Husker and the Replacements are awesome.

Great band. Zen Arcade is a terrific album. I love "Beyond the Threshold". It was a big influence on "Spin the Black Circle" by Pearl Jam which is one of my favorite songs.

I prefer Candy Apple Grey, but this is a great band
