goldrush said:It took a while to get over the split, especially because Collapse Into Now was a phenomenal album IMO. Collapse and New Adventures are my go to REM albums these days. If they'd finished after Reveal or Up then maybe people would have viewed it differently. They're both good albums, but they really went out on a high with Collapse.
That was 2008, and their last tour...Post edited by JH6056 on0 -

It is certainly a rarity in popular music or well-known bands. And everyone likes being a rarity
Not sure though that it makes up for them still using Ticketmaster when PJ was boycotting them, and having incredibly expensive tix (it was Monster tour and other than the damn Eagles, 1st time I ever heard of $100 tix)0 -
JH6056 said:This is just a "fan guess", but I'm gonna guess that initially it was just 1 or 2 members that were adamant about this, maybe 1 or 2 ambivalent, and at least 1 determined to change everyone else's mind and get the band to record or tour again later. But over time, they all came around to at least understanding this stance, and maybe even totally supporting it.

i find myself listening to Let Me In on repeat. After I found out it was written about Kurt, that knowledge in itself gave it incredible context I couldn't forget.
I think that would be a really cool song for Ed and Stone and Boom to start off the first encore.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -
Still my all time favorite band.0

I was lucky enough to see REM many times from 1983 through 2008. They are one of my top live bands. They often went deep into their catalog, which made each show very unique. My favorite show was in 1999 at the Greek Theatre in L.A. We were front row center, and Michael handed us the mic during "End of the World"....we got to sing the chorus!
So many great memories.
Because I got into them in high school, they mean more to me than PJ.0 -

JOEJOEJOE said:I started collecting their 12" singles around 10 years ago. I think I have most of them......will have to catalog my collection one of "These Days".
I did that for my vinyl (but not CD's) on Discogs. It took a while but it's great to have them catalogued. Just do a couple dozen at a time and you'll get there. I wasn't super fussy about narrowing down some of the more common titles to the exact run-out matrix, but got most of my records close enough for my needs.

Such a great band. I wonder if they're going to continue re-issuing their catalog? Monster was the last one. I need to pick up the super deluxe of that one and add it to the collection!

Most of the 12" singles are very reasonably priced on Discogs......I will have to see which ones I am missing!0 -
