My Take

To me, Dave Pirner is Soul Asylum, full stop. As the band's frontman out of Minneapolis, he gave alternative rock one of its most aching, frayed-edge voices. Winning the 1993 Grammy for Best Rock Song with 'Runaway Train' felt like vindication for a hard-touring band that earned every inch of it, and I quietly cheered. He's more than a singer too, writing, producing, even acting. But his real gift is lyrics that hand you the wound without flinching. There's a Midwestern plainness to his songwriting that, for me, hasn't aged a day. Pirner writes like he means it.
