Paul Westerberg

As the frontman of Minneapolis's beloved Replacements, Paul Westerberg gave voice to thousands of frustrated and restless young people with his boozy anthems and bruised laments. While he'll forever be associated with the 'Mats, Westerberg's solo career, which began with a pair of songs on the SINGLES soundtrack, has been as long and prolific as the Replacements'. Musically, his solo material is still rooted in the power pop and classic rock radio that marked the 'Mats at their best; however, there is a maturity and sense of self-understanding present in his songs that can come only from years of traveling music's hard-luck roads.
