I do listen on the monthly drive to Charlotte to visit my younger son, and wonder what would get the FCC to up their power to 100 billion gigawatts. "WNCW is a broadcast service of Isothermal Community College." How could you go wrong with a name like that? |

Aren't paper napkins disposable—y'know, use 'em once and trash 'em? Just asking.

Wish they'd remaster this. It suffers under the mp3 treatment.

Why do you?  IMHO REM was the best American band going in the 80's and early 90's. If you listen to their first 4 albums you hear where Uncle Tupelo got their inspiration - Gram Parsons not withstanding. |

I've decided not to bother rating anything below a 6 (it saves me the energy I'd spend in, say, rating every Coldplay song at 0)... But to rate only 10s? And so many of them? I'm not that generous with my 10's...
Me neither, the only groups that just by definition have a lot of 10's are Led Zepplin and The Beatles. The rest of the 10s are reserved for certain songs that I must really love. I feel to offer too many 10s is to cheapen it.  |

I remember rocking out to this in my dorm room in 1984 with a beautiful girl named Grace with long perfect black hair. Memories.
The middle section and the repeat of the intro guitar riff just after kick an amazing song to the godlike level.

When I first heard this song on what was then my favorite alternative radio station, WNCW in Spindale, NC, my ears pricked up. What is THAT? Michael & Peter and the boys endure and still sound fresh.
