The Only Exercise You ever Get is the Shakes

THIS ARTICLE over at Stereogum ranks The Replacements albums from worst to first. While its nice to finally see someone other than me putting Tim ahead of Let it Be, claiming that All Shook Down is better than Sorry Ma, Hootenanny and Don't Tell a Soul makes things a bit dubious.

THE CORRECT WORST-TO-BEST ORDER, ie Xmastime's thoughts on the subject:
All Shook Down
Stink
Don't Tell a Soul
Hootenanny
Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash
Pleased to Meet Me
Let It Be
Tim
Pleased to Meet Me may be better overall than Let It Be, but Let It Be's highs are just too high.

Genius thoughts on Tim  and how it could've been the single greatest album of all time HERE (you're welcome, Earth.)

I'm with you and put it something like this.
Let It Be just shook things up, but it wasn't the best the Mats had in 'em.

All Shook Down
Stink
Hootenanny
Sorry Ma,
Don't Tell a Soul
Let It Be
Pleased to Meet Me
Tim
