It's like no artist is permitted to grow if their fans dont want anything but what the artist has been doing.


All bands are permitted to grow and or change but that doesn't mean I  or anyone has to like the new direction.

Have you noticed the R.E.M. snobs who say anything recorded after 1990 is crap and only the early L.P.s are good? You get people like that with every band and it is usually bullshit. The only exception may be Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green but even that is absurd. They aren't bad, just different.

Most overplayed band on RP. Thanks again for the PSD button.

This is a cover.
The original is from the Pink Flag album by Wire.

The Stubbornly Disappointed opened for the Tragically Hip back in '07.

Never noticed the cover image's similarity to Pretzel Logic

One of their very last truly legendary albums.

Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful and amateurish...especially the singing.

So you've never heard their cover of King of the Road, then.

OK, fine, but why this and not the original?

I must regretfully accept Bill's idiosyncrasies, since 99% of the time he's a genius.

Good times when Michael Stipe was happy and not stubbornly disappointed.

Everybody in my mushrooming multitude of galactic presidential campaigns loves this groovy cover song, and this entire album...  we love sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll...  time flies when we're having fun...

Possibly the best cover of a Wire song ever? Though originally a slow dirge, it suits R.E.M.'s faster janglepop style very well, with even Colin Newman's sneer translating well into Michael Stipe's whine. An odd yet inspired choice.
 
Listened to this song hundreds of times and never knew it's actually a cover! Thank you (11 years later) for the information!

REM were so very very good before they became Mega! After that they were only good.

I like the description "janglepop" it seems very apt {#Smile}

GMC,
1st comment in 2-and-a-half years, and you link to a Perez Hilton post?  Save that for another site, PLEASE!
