Remembered they play Tiffany early eighties before appearing on the Tube the night after, did a version of Moon River one of the bouncer said to me these are one of the best band he had seen

@riffraff was there too iirc.

 

[Venkman]

I loved 'Up', some great songs. That and 'Monster' probably my favourite. The Stipester has a great voice.

Iirc the Reckoning tour which would have been 1984 if so.

Come on then people who are slagging off REM, what bands are you into? Possible double standards, not liking it if people call their favourite bands. Everyone has their own loves/hates.

Apart from ‘Everybody Hurts’ which is brilliant, they’re just a bit dull aren’t they?

Like most bands they went completely up their own arse after success.

Logon or register to see this image

Bizarre

I can't stand you .But hoo so what.....

 

[Artie Fufkin]

Great band with some fantastic albums. Stipe was always a little bit out there, long before fame kicked in.

 

[naughtynose]

Green, Life's Rich Pageant and Automatic For The People are all outstanding.

Monster seems like a lifetime ago it was released.

Up on the other hand I can’t believe is 20 years old.
Seems like only yesterday I was at Stirling Castle when they were touring that record.

Green, Life's Rich Pageant and Automatic For The People are all outstanding.

Aye, Pageant is my second favourite album they did.
The first four songs in particular man

As Mark Lamarr said, REM is a natural response to falling asleep. Falling asleep is a natural response to REM.

Probably chuck Document in with those 3 too

One of the Facebook (yeah, I knar) groups I’m on have just had an entensive 80 song ‘tournament’ to decide what their greatest song ever was.

Anyone guess the winner??

Dinnar, but it should be Strange Currencies.

Nope.

Great song mind.
One of my personal faves on Monster after Let Me In.
