I have been playing some of the early stuff, and it sounds great. Chronic Town was never really topped, but I followed them until Green, I did come around to liking later ones like Automatic and Up.

An ex-colleague of mine worshipped REM until she went to work for Warners and met Stipe at an event. She said he was an utter prick and REM lost their appeal for her after that.
RE: my "seems like a decent guy with his heart in the right place" - I'll stand corrected. Maybe he was just having an off day, y'know? Never meet your heroes?

Listening to Monster right now. R.E.M. really struggled after Bill Berry left. Or maybe it was when Mike Mills started wearing those godawful suits.

Two ways to respond to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz using one of your songs at a rally.
Mike Mills: Personally, I think the Orange Clown will do anything for attention. I hate giving it to him.
Michael Stipe: Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you—you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men. Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign.
I agree with Mills about not giving a numbnuts like Trump any attention.
On the other hand, fuck Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

I realize this has turned into more of a "hate" R.E.M. thread than a "love" one, but I'm still in the latter camp. If anyone else is, too, you might be interested in the 16-part blog series that Bryce and I recently did on them. One post for each of their full studio albums, plus a wrap-up post at the end. All the photos are taken by me, from my collection, but each blog post features a back-and-forth discussion between the two of us, Bryce's text aligned to the left and mine aligned to the right. If you can handle it, you can start with "Murmur" here: hintsandallegations.com/2015/11/10/reexamining-murmur/
