I didn't think anyone under 40 had even heard it! <BR/><BR/>The B side of "Murmur" is my favorite side of any rock album ever made. <BR/><BR/>I do think R.E.M.'s more recent stuff (after the pop hits you mention) is interesting for its dramatic depth, and the band seems to be free to go wherever it wants musically. A multi-album contract with Warner Brothers is the definition of "selling out," but it also has its advantages. Each phase of the band's career has been worth listening to IMO. I don't feel that way about many other rock bands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
