From Wikipedia:
The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars for most of its existence. After two albums in the style of punk rock, they became one of the main pioneers of alternative rock with their acclaimed albums Let It Be and Tim.
“Part of our lure is that we stayed underground. We stayed underground, for the most part, because of our shortcomings… But that was also, somehow, our strong-suit—that we were so unable to conform to what would make us star-quality or what would catapult us. We always felt like the music had to do it, that we couldn’t do something with the music to make us more popular. In saying that, there were a lot of opportunities that I think we probably pissed away—because we just didn’t know how to greet them artistically and make them fun or make them palatable. We pretty much wung our entire career. From top to bottom, we were total defects and we didn’t know any better. All that you hear is exactly the way we were. It’s the good, the bad and the ugly, really.”
– Tommy Stinson
