Uncle Tupelo is so underrated. I'm glad they are still considered a great band out of Illinois. http://www.ranker.com/list/alltime-best-bands-from-illinois/clark-benson

music for working class whiteboy punks stuck out in the manual labor wastelands of small town midwest. fucking excellent. soundtrack for the production line, alcoholism, and run down housing. there needs to be more music for these folks instead of that bullshit Top 40 country.
