R.E.M. Is my favorite band. For me, it’s The Beatles and R.E.M. Both are very different, but also similar in lots of ways. My personal difference is I hate R.E.M.’s most popular, or well-known song. I don’t have that with The Beatles, but I don’t know what would be considered their most popular song. R.E.M.’s would be “Losing My Religion.”
I hate that song. It got so popular and the video was everywhere. But it grated on my ears. It’s the combination of Stipe’s “ooooooooh” and Buck’s mandolin at the end that does it. I know a lot of people love that song and I love that for them, I really do. A ton of people became R.E.M. Fans because of that song, but I’d been a fan since I was eleven when I bought Lifes Rich Pageant after hearing “Fall on Me” on Centenary College’s radio station. Most of my love for New Wave music came from that radio station. Man, it was great. Anyway.
The song is forever changed with this:
