SORRY MA, FORGOT TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH!

Part of the Replacements' appeal always was that they didn't quite fit into any tidy category. Nowhere was that truer than on their 1981 debut, Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash. They didn't fit anywhere within American punk, but there's no defiance here; there's a celebration of who and what they are that's genuinely, infectiously guileless. It may not quite sound like any other American punk record but Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash is one of the best LPs the entire scene produced in the early '80s.
