Adam (The Right Here-bass)
SPB: What’s the last record you didn’t care for much on first listen that’s really grown on you since?
Adam: The album that I initially dismissed was Let It Be by The Replacements. After listening to Sorry, ma and Stink I was looking for more hard-hitting, in-your-face punk rock so I fired up Let It Be. I was expecting the same kinda fast, high-energy punk rock of Sorry, ma and instead I got jangly potpourri pop rock. After skipping through the entire album and listening to the first few seconds of each track, I decided that The Replacements only had two good albums and didn't even think about the band for years. It wasn't until I started playing in a rock ‘n’ roll band and exploring non-breakneck punk that I revisited the rest of their catalog and really fell in love with the charm of later Replacements. "Androgynous" and "Unsatisfied" are two of my favorite songs now and I get ‘em stuck in my head at least twice a week.
