Top 10 Songs from Minneapolis

I have always been a huge supporter of the local music scene in the Twin Cities.  There are so many amazing artists that have emerged from Minneapolis over the last thirty years.  I have decided to put together a list of my favorite artists and songs that come from my hometown.  Enjoy!

1. “Closing Time” - Semisonic.  Such a 90’s classic.  Everyone loves this song.

2. “Anadrogynous” - The Replacements.  This band is amazing.  They didn’t give a fuck about anything, it was their appeal and their downfall.

3. “My Favorite Accident” - Motion City Soundtrack.  This is the first song I heard by MCS and was hooked immediately.

4. “I’ll Be There For You” - The Rembrandts.  Friends theme song.  Enough said.

5. “Pearle” - Trip Shakespeare.  This is one of the most creative bands from MN.  They eventually turned into Semisonic.

6. “Miss Happiness” - Walt Mink.  Words cannot describe.  Shredders.

7. “Lie To Me” - Johnny Lang.  We all know his story.

8. “The Kill In Me” - POS.  This is one of my favorite hip-hop tracks of all time.  So real and honest.

9. “Bird Songs Why The Caged I Know” - Atmosphere.  This song always gets me pumped.

10. “1999” - Prince.  Classic.
