ive been really into murmur recently and it got me thinking that in 10 years or so rem will basically be lost to history
Every rich person I know doesn't dislike rem so they'll survive
REM is not forgotten nor are they gen x
may as well start with their Athens scene-mates Love Tractor and Pylon.there's an early REM interview where the interviewer asked them "how does it feel to be the best Athens band?" and their response was "we're not Pylon."weirdly the B52s are on my college station right now
>>129039821The local college station plays B-52's occasionally and REM nonstop. To the point I heard another secondary band from the area for the first time, Guadalcanal Diary, and assume it was also REM because it sounds so similar
>>129039914that's pretty cool. I'm pretty close to Athens in ATL and they barely ever play anything by either band, so it was really random to realize it was them halfway through typing that post
>>129039821cool. i just found out pylon re-released all their albums recently. might have to pick them up
>>129037929PavementDinosaur JrLucious Jackson
>>129037929Their first records and the EP are so fucking good. Different band beyond that.
I've noticed Zoomers can't play Smoke on the Water on guitar.
>>129037929>the smiths but not goodgen x slop
>>129037929REM was so overplayed on the radio from my childhood until my early adulthood that they basically became white noise to me, I barely even registered them as a band, they were just "stuff that plays on the radio". It took a while for me to be able to listen to them with fresh ears and realize that a lot of their stuff is unironically great.
>>129037929No they wont, losing my religion will be played on sirius xm lithium until the stars die out
>>129043626Yeah same I thought they were lame music for parents. It didn't help that I became aware of them around the time they were putting out crap like Reveal and Around the Sun. But then I listened to their 80s albums as an adult and I love them. I now even like a lot of their stuff from the 90s that's been overplayed to death.
>>129037929>Nir van-a driving around listening to early REM>Michael was queued for the IU follow up REM are untouchable for this lore alone
>>129037929You can hear REM influences all over in American indie and alt-rock.It's by far the most influential band in the genre.
>>129045282>the IU follow upthe what now? search just gives me kpop
>>129045524This. One of the most successful bands of all time. They're not forgotten. They were never forgotten. There's just nothing to say. They were amazing during their run then called it quits. They've never had the most exciting lore or anything but they pumped out so many classics back to back.
>>129039914watusi radio is a good song by them from what i remember i made a thread about that band and some anon talked about he saw them live back in the day
>>129045789i assume he means this:>Stipe and Cobain became friends after R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck moved next door to Cobain and Courtney Love. Cobain greatly admired R.E.M. and told Rolling Stone in 1994 that for Nirvana's potential fourth album, he wanted to emulate their sound, describing it as "pretty ethereal, acoustic, like Automatic for the People".>Stipe was concerned about Cobain's well-being and invited him to work with R.E.M. in March 1994 as a form of musical intervention. The plan was for a potential collaboration, though it never came to fruition due to Cobain's death shortly after.
>>129037929Good. REM sucks cocks.
>>129046773But enough about what you do in your free time
>Husker Du>Black Flag>Minor Threat>Fugazi>The ReplacementsAll unc shit. Nobody gives a fuck about le 4 dudes in a band anymore
>>129046811No one gives a fuck about what you think, faggot.
>>129046826lol got him
>>129046826"our band could be your life" fags on suicide watch. Kek'd! Go listen to Sonic Youth or another amerimutt shit like that
>>129046890Post your nation's superior music, friend. we'd love to hear it
What about this oldie but a goodie? These zooms should respect the Queensryche
