Yup. Could be.

Well, there are a few other people on RP who feel the same (about REM and/or U2 and/or Elvis Costello) but, yeah - most of the rest of us wonder what the heck y'all are smoking.

You don't have to like 'em but that does not make them overrated.

I hate when people use stupid words. Especially when they use them incorrectly, as you did (I looked it up). You yukky man.

This record always deserves to be cranked way up, and I seriously doubt if it'll ever get old.

I'm such a sucker for a janglin' Rickenbacker. One of my favorite REMs.

A typical excerpt from any REM song comment page on RP:
blah blah blah new REM sucks blah blah blah I'm an old fart blah blah blah I still wear my clothes from junior college in 1981 blah blah blah I'm just mad that REM could evolve over time and I can't blah blah blah what time does the buffet start blah blah blah

Oh, and this young whipper-snapper still thinks this is a classic song and album.

My thoughts exactly. I think this is the song that I first heard from them back in the early '80's...and I have loved them ever since.

REM before "the fall."

I find the comments about REM being the next generation's classic rock interesting. That is what happens when songs get over played.

That's...so ....weird!
Two songs ago Josh Joplin came on , and I was going to compare them to an REM song...where Stipe talks his way through...(not this)
