Reminds me of the time I took off for the West Coast from snowy Boulder Spring Break of '87 with this in the tape deck as I left...NICE!

Can't say I'm really liking this tune. I do like REM, but not this song so much.

This, sadly, is what I'd consider dross, a shame as they've done so much else that is stunningly good. Passable, right enough, but hardly memorable.
Wow, you have taken wrong to an uber level! Losing my Religion is what I despise, what REM became. This song represents them at their best! |

That is right. It's like Bill and I are loving two different bands sometimes (this one is a gem though). They really broke through with a big hit in Losing My Religion. A mediocrity at best. It was the beginning of the end. I would love to hear Begin the Begin here, or my fav Time After Time. Both neglected to a baffling degree. |

I didn't discover R.E.M. until Green and then I went back and bought Murmur but found it a little shoegaze-y for my tastes so i didn't bother with the rest. This is pleasant enough, though.

Indeed, Voice of Harold is one of my favs from them too. I especially like when he mentions West Columbia SC. Shout out!  |

If you're looking to quickly kill the bliss that always follows The Rain Song segueing into this is a d——d good way to do it.

Rumour has it that that version was recorded very late at night and they all had 'had a few'. Makes me like it even more. |

I was "coming of age" musicially and these guys were leading the way. When coming from listening to Seasons in the Sun to this, it was quite an awakaning. I thank "Chim" in college and still love these guys (their old stuff anyway). Saw them in a gymnasium in Washington DC.

I'm with you, Hannio. Give me Maps and Legends over Nightswimming any day. Loved REM so much more when they were redefining the establishmnent. Hannio wrote:
