Thoughts on R.E.M

[Don Corleone]

REM is among my favorites, unlike most of you assholes. you need to listen to the right songs dammit.

and "losing my religion" should DEFINITELY be stopped playing on radios. humanity has had enough.

 

[marginalé]

you're right, it should have been 'man on the moon', wonderfull son!

Automatic for the People is like, my favorite album ever. "Sweetness Follows"...what a song. Murmur is also near perfect. Anyway, REM have their fair share of duds but overall I find them to be surprisingly underrated and misunderstood.

I agree with whoever above said people need to listen to the right songs. "Stand" is an embarassment to humanity..and it's also one of their major hits.

 

[Bastet]

underrated???

 

[Strangelight]

underrated???

haha, I know I was thinking the same. REM are huge like.

 

[Susie]

well i love the song (losing my religion) though i thought when i last seen him , he wouldnt be around for much longer, is he ill or what

 

[Malaclypse]

he always looks like that. must be the crappy music.

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

well, I am not quite sure what Don was expecting, saying that REM is "underrated". One has to do some sissy hip-hop or celine dion music to be appreciated by the majority nowadays. In me opinion REM got what it could get in means of popularity, 'cos quality music is *not* what the MTV youth wants.

When asked, Michael Stipe, aka "the bald guy" admits that they are a pop band, and they are doing it for the money, which shows how sincere and "natural" they are (unlike most of the bands, including rock and metal..)

btw graveworm did a funny cover of losing my religion

 

[MoonsOfJupiter]

R.E.M. are pretty well known over here in their home country. I don't think they're underrated, but they're definitely not as famous as all the horrible pop groups this country seems to shit out.

 

[Astrochicken]

I guess calling them underrated is a bit of a stretch. And i'd like to pat myself on the back for that one.

 

[Malaclypse]

yeah, in fact they're overrated.

 

[Don Corleone]

well im quite sure they are underrated here. the only song they are famous for is losing my religion...like status quo is for "in the army now" or leonard cohen is for "dance me to the end of love." it's so sad to see these amazing artists' other material disregarded by the ...by the...BLACK-HEARTED! lol
