For my Cut Out blog, I bought Don't Tell a Soul, possibly the start of the Replacements' fall from being one of the best US bands. According to the tell all book, All Over but the Shouting, a record store got C/Os about six months after the release. This must have ben a major buzzkill after the small success of this song...
It still has some class music, and this is worthy of any "Best Of" list. This song aimed to sound as big as The 80's without diluting any of the greatness of the music, and actually succeeded. A classic!
