What kind of feelings does REM's music stir within you ? I find REM makes me very introspective and it deffinetly leads me to relfect on some more intimate things.

Collage (From the French: coller, to stick) is regarded as a work of visual arts made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
REM makes me want to kick puppies. I like puppies.

I've always really liked R.E.M. but I haven't bought any of the albums since Bill Berry left. "Automatic For the People" is the album that puts me in the mood you described.
"Life's Rich Pageant" makes me nostalgic and "Out of Time" makes me think of past girlfriends and love lost.
"Document" makes me think of politics, both past and present.
I could go on for every album. Which album(s) do you have MM? |

--Awesome album. They did make a few good tunes on other albums, but aftp does it for me.

You may feel differently, but while I like the later albums (Green-Reveal) that early stuff was their best work IMO.
Some songs: Radio Free Europe So Central Rain Driver 8 Fall On Me Finest Worksong |

Disappointment.
Here is a band that has a few really good pop/rock songs and some good ideas, but they don't really follow through to a fulfilling finish. Songs like Orange Crush, Stand and End of the World are great kernels of ideas, but feel kind of unfinished or not completely thought out. The music is way better than the lyrics.
Thier albums suffer from to much filler, too little killer. The Police suffered from the same lack of having an albums worth of great material - only they had a killer singer and way better players.
I like Green and Epoymous

Around the Sun always reminds me of my ex and how I'd play wow with her with that album on in the background constantly...

My band covers "The One I Love" and I sing it. I like that song, it's incredibly easy to cover, and it goes over great. |
