Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 I admit that I have not heard a majority of the records, as I am not into gay music, but the ones I have been unfortunate enough to have experienced are very samey indeed.

rockbus Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 can you name me another band whose best known song is written in 3/4 time? There are lots of arguments that can be made against R.E.M. but samey is certainly not one of them. In actual fact they pull in so many directions is probably a weakness at some points in their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â OT, I can understand why they would choose now to finish. They've been around a long time (in the music world), have a back catalogue which will continue to inspire, and I guess, they have realised it's better to go now, then to pump out another 4 or 5 albums which diminish what they have achieved.

Paid Members FLips Posted September 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 I didn't notice Thunderplex was such a good troll/massive retard. Kinda came out of nowhere, that. Â The only REM songs you could really make a case for sounding the same are "It's The End of The World As We Know It" and "Bad Day", but that's because Bad Day was an early sort of prototype for it that got re-recorded and re-released on one of their best of albums. Â I had no idea so many people collaberated on the last album "Collapse Into Now". Eddie Vedder and Patti Smith being two of them. "Collapse Into Now" is a fantastic album to finish on though, and is probably up there as one of my favourites after AFTP and Green. Â To further disprove the "they sound the same" shit that Thunderplex is chucking about; Â Â REM - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 Always been a fan of their better known stuff. Saw them at the KC Stadium in 2005 and they were ace. The Zutons on the undercard were bloody brilliant that day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not really. He recently described Freebird as '14 minutes of musical bliss'. The fool. It's actually 9:06 of musical bliss. Unless he's referring to the popular 'Live at Freedom Hall' version.

Loki Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Chalk me down as meh. Really liked a couple of tracks such as "Man On The Moon" but even in their heyday I thought they were hugely overrated. A poor man's Crowded House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't been much cop for a while, though. It will be interesting to see what they separately do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
