Saw Patti Smith in Toronto last week.  Amazingly powerful voice live.  More than I was expecting.

I was never a big R.E.M. fan, but I'm sure enjoying this piece!

New Adventures was a real creeper of an album.  Didn't feel too strongly about it until well after its release but it really is yet another very cool REM album.

That's great except the Chills first album, "Kaleidoscope World" isn't released until 1986, 3 years after "Murmur."

If they kept creating stuff like this they would not have needed to break up...

Hopefully they will get their melody spark back and regroup...

They still are. Many of their songs are playable to this day. A true sign of quality imo.

 
Yea the 20+ year old ones, thanks for making my point.

Man what happened to these guys? They were a beacon of light back in the darkness of the eighties.

Cool how Patti Smith sings background on this song...  EBow refers to an electromagnetic field-generating device that induces sustained vibration in an electric guitar string...

It will sound like jumping the bandwagon but, really, R.E.M. hasn't since released a single as good as this! *snif* (...but then again they set the bar extremely high here!!!)

Ironically (actually, it makes logical sense, quality doesn't equal sales), it didn't do as well as expected and Warners has since had the choice for R.E.M.'s singles material (while the band had picked them until this one).
