The Replacements - "Nowhere Is My Home"

In a March 1984 interview with the San Francisco 'zine Riding The Blinds, Replacements singer and guitarist Paul Westerberg tried to sum up the feelings about his young band:

To like us, you have to try and understand us. You can't come in and just let your first impressions lead you. Because your first impression will be of a band that doesn't play real well, is very loud, and might be drunk. Beneath that is a band that values spirit and excitement more than musical prowess. To me, that's rock and roll, and we're a rock and roll band.

The Replacements are one of the most beloved and underrated bands of the 1980s. Both a cult favorite and genuine classic rock group, their earnest anthems of disaffected youth continually prove to be timeless works of sweat-fueled and beer-soaked art. With Bob Stinson's wild and unsettled guitar riff setting the tone, the unreleased "Nowhere Is My Home" is a small sampling of the band's achievement—but nevertheless, a favorite.
