Members gorebuc Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 up to Document is great music, though that album had more filler than the rest. I hope to move to Athens this summer, maybe I can catch the muse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 Oh hells yeah. I like all REM, actually, except for their latest POS. But their early twangy mumbling pop gems are essential listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the mumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CHOUTMUSIC Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 My bandmate and I took a trip to athens cuz were rem nerds. I drove 20 hours straight from minneapolis to atlanta before we stopped for some sleep. total shameless fanboys, us. we went to the steeple where the church used to be, saw the murmur trestle (my fave rem lp), even saw the parking lot where Tyrone's used to be (and my favorite bootleg ever was recorded there). Ate at Weaver D's. We even went to Philomath on my insistance.we stayed in athens for about 9 hours then drove straight home. I'll never do a trip like that again.

Did you see Reverend Finster (do I have the name right?)Did you go to that good southern bbq as featured in Athens Georgia Inside Out? Did you see the bands DuoJets or BBQ Killers? Let's Active? Yeah, I was a fanboy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they plan on putting out anything else like their last album, yes, it's time to quit. Or just stick to touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gorebuc Posted February 1, 2007 Members Share Posted February 1, 2007 If Berry would get back with them and give them their rock drive back, I'd go see them for sure. The only post-IRS era REM I keep in my CD case is Monster...its probably my favorite early 90's rock album (I'm not a big early 90s guy, btw, so don't tell me to listen to Pixies or Pavement or anything and change my mind). If they would have continued in that direction, they might still be a relevant band. That said, the REM trio has put together some nice light pop tunes like "Imitation of Life" and "Daysleeper," just not something I'd go see live.
