Soul Asylum is respected in the 80's Hair Metal community!

Besides my undying love for Soul Asylum, I also have a huge place in my heart for 80's hair metal. I know it may be uncommon to love both Soul Asylum and Poison, but I do!
Anyways, my favorite 80's Hair Metal site is Metal Sludge. Thousands of Hair Metal fans post on there every day, and its always a fun time to read the posts.
As I was going through the daily posts about Poison, Motley Crue, and Guns N' Roses, I see a topic called Soul Asylum- with 56 replies!
I click it only to read dozens and dozens of positive things being said about Soul Asylum (literally, 98% of the replies were how Soul Asylum is a great band)!
It made me real excited to read about peoples thoughts on Soul Asylum- people we most likely don't hear from!
Here are some excerpts:
-I think their last cd The Silver Lining was one of their best.
-I saw them a few years ago in NYC opening for Cheap Trick, and I said this once before and got crucified on this board, but I don't give a fuck - Soul Asylum blew Cheap Trick off the stage.
-Terrific band. Never discovered them until Grave Dancer's Union, and then went back and bought all the old stuff. Let Your Dim Light Shine is terrific, and their new disc, The Silver Lining, is terrific. Check out "Oxygen,"--my favorite track on that disc.
-Let Your Dim Light Shine is one of the first disks that comes to my mind when people talk about underrated disks. It's a great disk that I still break out often.
If anyone wants to sign up for their message board (which is not always an easy task- took me months to get a password confirmation), here is the link to the Soul Asylum topic:

Maybe I am not so bizarre for loving Soul Asylum and Poison at the same time! Maybe they should tour together!?
