I’m still going to meander through their discography

**** the haters



Fables of the Reconstruction





Document





Green





Out of Time









Frankly this is one of the most consistent and praiseworthy discographies of all time. Be honest, people.

Fables had some really great tracks, like Driver 8 and Can't Get There From Here. I absolutely love the Peter Buck's jangley Rickenbacker on Kohoutek.

R.E.M. - Kohoutek


R.E.M. did a decent job covering Pylon's song Crazy.
Dead Letter Office (1987)


R.E.M. CRAZY

The Athens scene was incredible. REM was very influenced by both the B-52s and Pylon. They even did a cover of Crazy on Dead Letter Office (as I just noticed Nea mention). This was a good choice, Occult. REM is my second favorite band next to the Beatles. Best albums: Murmur, Reckoning, and Automatic For the People. Favorite tracks: So. Central Rain and Everybody Hurts. Maybe I'll post So. Central Rain later after I'm done playing with Spotify.

I think you’re right that those are the top three.

Damn.

My favorite REM song is Perfect Circle.

Can we at least agree that "Everybody Hurts" blows ass chunks?

No.

It’s so sentimental and vulnerable you almost feel embarrassed for them

but then it falls back on something very powerful...

truth

and having a voice big enough to say it

it’s a fantastic beautiful courageous song

No, it's so cringy and overwrought that I feel embarrassed for myself for listening to it.

Any song that embarrasses you has to be unassailable
