But yeah, I suppose I feel the same way when forced to face some of the NW's most famous disgressions (though I listened to "Sex God Missy" by Tad just the other day and loved every second of it, so maybe not...)

I think it's an overexposure thing from living in Minneapolis, plus the fact that so many people seem to overly romanticize that era of local music as some kind of "golden age" that can never be equalled. I was paying attention to local music in the 80s, and yes, there were a lot of good bands, but right now there are more bands I like in our area than there ever have been. I guess I just wish people could get past the Suburbs/Replacements/Husker Du/Soul Asylum/Jayhawks thing sometimes.
