Singles: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Singles is the original soundtrack album to the film "Singles", primarily focused on the ascendant Seattle grunge scene of the early 1990s.
 It also features contributions from Minneapolis's Paul Westerberg (his first solo material after the breakup of The Replacements), Chicago's The Smashing Pumpkins, and past Seattle rockers Jimi Hendrix and The Lovemongers (Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart).
 It was released on June 30, 1992.
 The album has been certified two times platinum by the RIAA in the United States.
The Replacements (band)
The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979.
 Initially a punk rock band, they are considered pioneers of alternative rock.
 The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career.
 Following several acclaimed albums, including "Let It Be" and "Tim", Bob Stinson left the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist.
 Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990.
 Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output.
 The group disbanded in 1991, with the members eventually pursuing various projects.
 A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012.
 The Replacements never had significant commercial success, except for "I'll Be You", which hit number 1 on the "Billboard" Alt Rock chart, but they influenced numerous alternative rock acts.
14 Songs (Paul Westerberg album)
14 Songs is the first official solo album from Paul Westerberg, former leader of The Replacements.
 In many ways, it's his second solo album, given that the final Replacements album, "All Shook Down", was heavily packed with session musicians and marginalized the other three band members. Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?
Don't You Know Who I Think I Was?
 is a greatest hits album by the American rock band The Replacements, released in 2006 by Rhino Records.
 It includes eighteen tracks spanning the band's eight studio releases from 1981 to 1990, as well as two new tracks recorded specifically for this release.
 The new tracks—"Message to the Boys" and "Pool & Dive"—feature the three surviving original band members: singer and guitarist Paul Westerberg, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson, and drummer Chris Mars.
 However, Mars does not play drums on these tracks: they were played by session drummer Josh Freese while Mars sang backing vocals. Sub Pop 200
Sub Pop 200 is a compilation released in the early days of the Seattle grunge scene (December 1988).
 It features songs (many of them first releases and otherwise unattainable) from Tad, The Fluid, Nirvana, Steven "Jesse" Bernstein, Mudhoney, The Walkabouts, Terry Lee Hale, Soundgarden, Green River, Fastbacks, Blood Circus, Swallow, Chemistry Set, Girl Trouble, The Nights and Days, Cat Butt, Beat Happening, Screaming Trees, Steve Fisk, and The Thrown Ups. Grunge speak
Grunge speak was a hoax created by Megan Jasper, then receptionist for Sub Pop Records.
 Under pressure from a reporter for "The New York Times" who wanted to know if grunge fans had their own slang, Jasper, 25 at the time, told the reporter a set of slang terms that she claimed were associated with the Seattle grunge scene in the early 1990s, but which she had in fact invented on the spot.
 The information given by Jasper appeared in the sidebar of a November 15, 1992, feature article by reporter Rick Marin in the "New York Times".
 The sidebar, titled "Lexicon of Grunge: Breaking the Code," mistakenly said that Jasper was working for Caroline Records. Let It Be (The Replacements album)
Let It Be is the third studio album by American rock band The Replacements.
 It was released on October 2, 1984 by Twin/Tone Records.
 A post-punk album with coming-of-age themes, "Let It Be" was recorded by the band after they had grown tired of playing loud and fast exclusively as on their 1983 "Hootenanny" album; the group decided to write songs that were, according to vocalist Paul Westerberg, "a little more sincere."

Superstar Car Wash
Superstar Car Wash is the fourth studio album by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls, released in February, 1993 on Warner Bros.
 John Rzeznik wrote the song "We Are the Normal" with his idol, The Replacements' singer Paul Westerberg.
 The two corresponded by mail but never sat in a studio together.
 The song "Fallin' Down" was featured in the 1993 Pauly Shore movie "Son In Law".
 Also, the song "So Far Away" was originally written and recorded with the title "Dancing In Your Blood"; the song had the same basic structure, but different lyrics, more minimal instrumentation, and a slightly different melody. I Will Dare
"I Will Dare" is a song by American alternative rock band The Replacements, written by Paul Westerberg.
 The song was released as a single on independent record label Twin/Tone Records in July 1984, shortly before the release of the band's album "Let It Be" that October, on which the song served as the opening track.
 Allmusic writes that the song "stands as perhaps the band's most beloved song and is a touchstone for their mid-'80s heyday, not to mention its status in the jangle and college rock canons."
 The song has been included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
