Agreed but even when they were poor I think the Album cover could have used a spruce up. I remember my Dad thought this was homemade when I bought the cassette.

Oh also to join the debate on best ever REM songs I offer - Country Feedback, World Leader Pretend and King Of Birds.



Yeah, I know what you mean... the album cover looks very intestinal...

but the album cover is not important— what matters most is the music, and every song on the album be soooo good...

we be dancing... love this song...

When Monster was released I thought it was quite different and very good. Now, even though I still enjoy some of the songs from it, I don't think it stacks up to their earlier work or their later Automatic For The People.

ugh, again with the hate for Monster... It's a good album...

But still none of its songs taken individually stack up to this one, which is far and away their best song...

{#Sorry} Sorry, I'll stop raggin on Monster. I know people like it. It's just that it...oops, I'll shut up. {#Zip-lip} {#Taped-shut} {#Lol}

I'm gonna hope romeotuma's referring to DANCING (there was a dance in the '60's called The Shag) but even if he isn't, it's still some mighty multi-tasking.


Miss you so much, Ann...

rest in peace...

If you really took that vote, then five crappy REM songs would win, like stuff off of Monster. Here are my votes: Begin the Begin, Perfect Circle, Radio Free Europe, Time After Time, I am Superman. I know the last one is a cover, and I shudder to think I am saying a cover should be in the top five songs of perhaps the greatest American band, but I still have never heard the Clique original and that's the story I am sticking to.

No, I think if you were to take a concensus vote for best REM song, my guess this one would win or at least be in the top 5. It certainly gets my vote.
