I think the negativity I’m getting toward REM in the Southern States thread is either ignorance or disingenuousness

So I nominate REM

Beatles-yes, Elliott Smith- probably not

I’d take Elliott Smith because there’s more there to consider

Though frankly, the reluctance of many regular posters here to gargle Beatles **** is confounding

I'm not vehemently against them, but their albums kinda sound the same to me. As do most of their songs. Not entirely true of course, but they never struck me as an interesting band. More like the ACDC of moody alternative rock. If they come up here, I might be proven wrong, so I'm not against the idea.

That Beatles **** is being rammed down my throat where ever I go, so when I have an active choice in the matter, I always refuse the Beatles ****.

It's not that they're bad, it's that they've got this Godlike status and that their praises are sung from every hill in the world 24/7 - but then you listen to them and they're just kinda allright, quite inoffensive and not that interesting.

Well REM is liberal and the south as a whole is, well, not, so I'd go with ignorance.

Yeah, I'll enthusiastically second that one.

Nobody likes a band when they're popular, no matter how good. And I do see Mic's point. It's easier just to listen to the music really.

Did Chula nominate Led Zeppelin yet?

I like that. I love AC/DC, though. They have several songs that still make me feel like a little kid.

REM tinkered with their sound more but, yeah, they both basically stuck with what they did well, like the Ramones.
