Just watching a pretty crap documentary about REM and I've not listened to them in a long time.

They were bloody brilliant like. I only got into them when they released Fables of the Reconstruction in the mid eighties. I was into the Rickenbacker jangle and that whole sound at the time.

What a back catalogue they have. Wonderful.

Sang with R.E.M. me.

Well, if you count catching the mic when Michael threw it into the crowd at the Stirling Castle gig in '99 :cool:

Fantastic band, fantastic catalogue. Ridiculously good live
 


They are two of my favourite songs of theirs tbh, good band, not a massive fan but there is no disputing they're a talented bunch :D.

Give "Everyone's Been Burned" by The Byrds a listen to see where it came from. Sort of like a "Who Do You Think You Are" for songs.

Was lucky enough to see them live around 9 times. Their Hyde Park gig in 2005 (postponed for a week or so after the London bombings) is my favourite live gig ever.

I was supposed to see Amy Winhouse support Kyle Eastwoods band in the moat of the Tower Of London that neet. Instead I had to walk 14 miles home. Gig nivver got rearranged and the refund took ages......trivial I know when compared to what happened that day.

My favourite REM gig was at Newcastle Tiffanys flogging the 3rd album iirc. Worst was Earls Court.
