Catchy tunes.

Nothing exciting for me though.

Great band. An underappreciated foundational building-block for modern rock.

I've liked them since the late 1980s.

Love their stuff. Was listening to REM essentials when
driving around today. Had forgotten how many good tunes they had written.


I was unaware of this song until Rick Beato covered it and said that he thought that this might be their best song ever.


Evidently Stipe wrote this song in relation to his grandmother who was dying. Beautiful melody.

I like a few songs by REM, have from their beginnings. But when I saw the lead singer wearing an anti gun tee on an awards show one night I knew I wouldn't be buying their product.

I’ve always liked “It’s the end of the world.”

Some of their others are good but do not really appeal to me. The overall persona of the band especially Michael Stripe was always off putting enough that I was never interested in listening unless a song came on the radio or MTV way back in the day.

I'm ok on their commercially successful songs but never really wanted to go down the rabbit hole of their work - B sides etc.

"Happy Shiny People Holding Hands."

They're worthy of euthanasia for that one.
