    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    He is unbelievable and so was that album. Stopped a metal kid like me in my tracks, haven't stopped listening to it since it came out.

    Again, just picking the first one that comes to mind (an all-time favorite):

    The Replacements: "Let it Be"
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    Oh, so many! I love every cut. If had to narrow it down to two I would pick Side 1 and Side 2. image

    Yours?

    No More is one of my all time favourite tunes by anyone. Unreal.

    Eldorado brings back some memories too.

    RITFW is a classic as well.

    The album came out when I was going to university for my undergrad. I'd typically go for a 10K run after Sportspage at night (11:30). This album was perfect for a long, pokey pace.
