Gosh, it was tough to choose what to go with when it came to Minnesota.
Soul Asylum, a band I was listening to long before their breakthough Grave Dancers Union was released, and that album came out in 1992, a vulnerable time for me. I was in a position in college where I knew who this hot band getting all the MTV airplay was - and trying to convince them that the earlier stuff was better....
.... which wasn't true. Grave Dancers Union is arguably their best album, so it's great that it was the one that broke through. This was the first single - and a huge hit song. Plus, it was boisterous while remaining accessible, which was something I liked about the band.
I know, when I start posting these things, I always get asked "but, Tony, has your sister seen them live?"
Why yes, she has!!!! And they still sound great!!!
