>>130293400Every 90s indie band that got re-evaluated and embraced by younger people (Pavement etc.) needs to post and mention incessantly that their favorite band is R.E.M. and they are the reason they could do what they did because it's the truth. Also they should just probably re-unite in earnest before someone dies.
>>130293967Giving them too much credit uncPavement invented indie music
>>130293967This>>130294795No one is saying this except for one retard because Pavement fucking sucks and didn't invent shit except for being the apex of shitty music
>>130293400where do i start with rem
>>130294942First album then stop at New Adventures
>>130294955This with the exception of a few bangers from later albums, Imitation of Life and Bad Day are gold
>>130293400it literally takes one song placement in some shitty modern tv show/movie/meme to turn any old band into beloved zoomer icons
>>130294890Based and true
>>130298751Those are 10/10 songs
Losing My Religion and Man on the Moon are still blasting at big box stores. I even heard their meme hit>Its_the_End_of_the_World (As we Know It).mp3playing from a boombox at a sponsored free hotdog popup thing. >everybody huuuuuuuuuuuurtsthey wrote great meme songs that became overplayed af.
>>130299629Good thing they have a big discography full of gold to make up for the overplayed songs
when reunion, bros?
>>130300082Can't imagine they're going to. They've done just about everything they could musically. They don't strike me as a band that just likes to play the hits constantly either.
>>130293400strange that they arent more popular today since they were such an openly gay band
>>130293400I don't know where the meme that they've lost relevancy comes from. They're still wanked and played constantly on both FM and XM the radio.
>>130293400>Yorke continued by saying that his favorite R.E.M. record is New Adventures In Hi-Fi, and that he heard the melody of the song “Electrolite” while hanging out with the band in Dublin. In U2’s hotel, of all places.>"When you can write something like this, then you deserve to be heard by millions of people,” said Yorke.Wow...Thom Yorke actually reads MY threads <3 <3 <3
>>130300278Michael Stipe is happy in retirement getting his asshole BTFO by twinks in Berlin.
