R.E.M. was pretty popular right from the get go . They would draw bigger crowds than the other Athens bands. I was at this show too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWOXh5uDpNBge6c

The thing that strikes me about many of these early songs is how driving the tempo is. For all the inscrutability of the lyrics, the brisk pace keeps it on the side of pop, and away from the pitfalls of art-rock self-indulgence. There are so many great songs from their last five albums, but without Berry as their timekeeper, the tempos were often far too sluggish.
@misisipimike80202 жыл бұрын
