Replacements (sometimes referred to colloquially as "The Mats") were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1979. The band was composed of guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bassist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars for most of their career. Following several critically acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson was fired in 1986 and the band experienced several line-up changes; Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist and Steve Foley replaced Chris Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over their creative output. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members ultimately pursuing various projects. The Replacements never experienced any significant commercial success but have influenced a variety of alternative rock acts. Let It Be is the third studio album from The Replacements, released in October 1984 on Twin/Tone Records. 01 - I Will Dare 02 - Favorite Thing 03 - We're Comin' Out 04 - Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out 05 - Androgynous 06 - Black Diamond 07 - Unsatisfied 08 - Seen Your Video 09 - Gary's Got A Boner 10 - Sixteen Blue 11 - Answering Machine LINK
