    That wouldn't be far off mine. I'd have Nirvana a bit higher up, and Sonic Youth would be up there top 3, though. Definitely Replacements #1 .

    Not from my list, though I did struggle bumping REM, Yo La Tengo and the Pixies. Sparklehorse isn't really a band in the true sense. And if I could edit I would probably bump Television, drop Blondie and put the Velvets in at around 5 or 6.

    Presumably triggered by the Replacements' surprise new album. I don't really get the New York Dolls and think Nirvana were terribly overrated, but I'd move The Byrds to the top of the list and add:

    Talking Heads
    Scud Mountain Boys/Pernice Brothers
    Beastie Boys
    Flying Burrito Brothers
    The Jayhawks
    Daryl Hall and John Oates (unless you're not counting duos!)
    Devo
    Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
    Mamas and the Papas

    I am, of course, presuming you're not counting 60's vocal groups from Detroit and New York...

    Believe it or not, it was actually triggered by the search for a replacement left back/wingback/winger for the Reds. I was trying to be clever with this then gave up, thankfully.

    Please tell me Tommy Stinson has left Guns n Roses?
