i really like both, but Let it Be has been rattling around in my head for so long while I only heard Richard Hell a couple years ago for the first time.

wrong again.

'Mats love has taken over this board. And TEH HIVEG is the #1 culprit. Just like Obner to celebrate failure.

I think when I first started posting over at CMJ, R.E.M. and the Replacements were two of my favorite bands... so my 'Mats love is nothing new. I dig the RH&V record, but its new to me, and I bet it's new to a lot of people here, if they're not too scared to admit it.

Time to crank Womack's 'The Replacements'.

If there's one thing this exercise has taught us its outside the good stones albums, some dylan and the dbt's, GAR has pretty teddible taske. Replacements do not = Failure.

That said, I agree that Hell is not the trendy pick. I'm a little surprised that the Mats is winning by such a large margin. I like both but like Hell a lot more. I would have been more conflicted if this were Tim but I'd probably still have picked Hell.
