R.E.M. Band • Page 13

Yeah this one is upper-tier REM, definitely one of my top 2-3 most listened to REM albums. So so underrated

 

I miss REM

 

Leave without the siren is weird! But Michael sounds absolutely beautiful

 

ah its time for me to get obsessed with "New Test Leper" again for a month I see

 

Some days New Adventures is my favourite REM album. Some days it's Murmur. Some days Automatic. Those three rotate based on my mood and the season and which song is stuck in my head for no discernible reason.
And their other albums are all pretty great too.

 

Listened to my first rem album all through yesterday, document. What is the best place to go next?

 

Document is kind of a juncture for them, between the more indie rock sound of their '80s stuff and their alt-rock radio imperial phase of the '90s. So really, you could go either backwards or forwards. What were your favorite songs?

 

Automatic for the People and Murmur are where I send people first.

 

automatic 100%. one of the greatest of all time

 

probably finest work song, welcome to the occupation, and oddfellows

also need a jimmy cover of finest work song—feels like they’d do it perfectly

 

ive always wanted to hear the national cover "country feedback." it reminds me of them so much and I can hear Matt sing "its crazy what you could have had" haha

 

imo proceed to green

 

If you like Document then just head forwards from there chronologically, then go back to the old stuff at the end

 

Good mail day

 

goddamn I fucking love REM

this is an obvious thought but it's always nice to be reminded

 

same

my dad and I were watching a bunch of R.E.M. videos on YouTube last night and he turned to me during a performance of “The One I Love” and told me that if he were 10 years younger and heard them in the 80s, they would have been huge for him

 

love it. not even one of my favourites by them, but it's still bringing people together

 

Turn on the way back machine for this one:

 

And then again 12 years later.....

 

good band

 

I’m once again in a REM mood

best band

 

They were so young..... so. central rain had no name? awesome.

 

Brian Eno and Michael Stipe are releasing a song together next week!

“I’ve just finished a piece this morning with Michael Stipe,” says Eno, revealing an exclusive collaboration with the former REM singer called Future If Future. “This will be the first time I’ve worked with him, though I did sing with him once on Saturday Night Live or something like that,” smiles the 73-year-old, in his west London recording studio. “I’m very pleased with the way it’s gone. It’s a very good song, a very Stipe song. Beautiful lyrics, extraordinary piece.”
