one of the greatest R&R songs of all time. i don't understand why it's not more popular.

@oppothumbs1 Месяц назад

Yeah who knows why? People have sort of bad tastes and the replacements have a way of making the greatest r&r songs less popular than they should be. Kidding but a current remix of their albums does make their songs even better.

@GJDailleult 4 месяца назад

Have memories of when I lived in Toronto. Getting subway home late on a Friday or Saturday night, stopping off for a slice at the pizza place at Yonge & Bloor before heading back to my lonely apartment and putting "Pleased to Meet Me" on in my cassette player. I'm now an old man with two adult children and an completely insane wife. But I'm still in love with this song!!!

@shimmeringfairydust3275 2 года назад

Many years ago, when I worked in the world of rock, I got to take care of this band during their stint at Boston’s Channel club. Paul Westerberg richly rewarded me by throwing up, barely missing my feet. Tommy Stinson, the teenage bassist, kept hitting on me, but I wasn’t interested in that sort of thing, even with a 17 year old as cute as he was. It was a brilliant night, though. Great group of guys, and one of the best bands ever.
