Great recommendation. They're not any worse than some of the other stuff out nowadays!
Odds are that your knowledge of their music catalogue is limited to radio hits.
You're quite simply using this story to exploit your distaste for American culture. Again.

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
Nominted is a buzzword for "parting gift" and doesn't mean shit. Your attitude is typical of those like-minded euro-snobs and are a huge reason they are underrated. Go ahead and hate them....I don't give a fuck. Validates them in fact.
:noway: My nominee as the dumbest post ever made on this board. That's the musical equivalent of saying water or oxygen are overrated as they relate to life.

No. I've heard a few of their albums & found them to be bland boring rock. I have also seen them live & my opinion didn't change.
:nono: It's a crime they ever got together!!
I was never much of an R.E.M. fan but I don't have a snobbish "Well good" attitude about their breakup. Of course, if I didn't give half a damn about them then I wouldn't waste my time commenting here. I think the "haters" secretly like them.

I won't dignify that video with a response, but I will add that I'm not an REM fan (so talking bad about them doesn't make me cry).
Here's my tribute to both bands
some of their stuff has been popping up recently on XM's Lithium channel. Liked them before. Some of their songs have stood the test of time with me.
They were a voice for young adults for a few years. they may not have been relevant lately, but they made their mark.

Okay...the Beatles are the water.
...which makes The Rolling Stones the oxygen.
...and I for one, don't live in the sea.

But do you live in a "Yellow Submarine"?

I only said they were overrated. I never said they were not any good.
I thought they were bigger than Jesus
Lennon was shot for that.
They aren't that bad.
Well that's obvious. What other country could create bland american rock!!

I only said they were overrated. I never said they were not any good.Oh OK. Can you explain your corresponding use of a pile of excrement next to your comment then?
Oh second thought, never mind.

That is not what I meant. I will still say they are overrated.
