Not one of the guys you're responding to, but Tim is technically my favourite Replacements album (listened to it for decades and all-time favourite songs are on it), but picrel has become my favourite to listen to over time. The production is unfortunate for me in the context of this band only on this one album, where I can absolutely hear an edge that was suppressed by the attempt to reach audiences they were never going to reach. Even still, I love the sound, and I really love the songs. (Whether it qualifies as a Replacements album is another thing altogether, as well as All Shook Down, which I've also loved more every year for many years, but I'll leave that alone)
