Now Michael Stipe can get it on with all his houseboys, full time.

While I don't like them, I do have a couple CDs from the thrift store I picked up just to have around.



:banger:

Eh, Chris Martin said it was the best song ever written.

 

[STDiva]

That sucks. Although I haven't followed them lately, they were a great band.

I thought they'd broken up, like, 10 years ago. They had a few good songs. Meh, whatever.

Word for word, that's what I was going to say. When did they re-unite?

On the radio the DJ read out an email which said, hearing about REM breaking up is like hearing about someone famous dying who you thought had died years ago!

REM is so not a terrible group.

 

[ApolloBalboa]

I always enjoyed them, I'm sad to hear this news.

About fucking time!

I'm not a huge fan, but I liked a lot of their music. Particularly their earlier stuff.

 

[Will E Worm]

Bono and U2 are worse. :tongue:

Highly underrated band who will likely be much more appreciated by future generations.

Underrated?!?!? What world are you living in?!? The music press loves them, they've been nominated for awards etc. Fuck knows why. I guess their bland american rock has mass appeal

Even if you don't like them, can you say they're any worse than some of the other stuff out nowadays? At least they've proven they have fans and talent by their longevity.

If you'll recall, the Beatles crossed the pond to watch Elvis, not the other way around. :kettle:

Any "rock" that ever came out of Britain has to pay homage to the United States. Fact.
