[@Michele1ELL]

My boyfriend , my soul mate, passed away 6 months ago unbelievably suddenly. It’s insane that someone can walk out the door one morning, and you’ll never see them again. He loved this song. He had eclectic music taste and played R.E.M. a lot. He loved this song. My favorite memories are of him and I sitting and listening to music and talking. I don’t myself connecting with many people to be honest. He and I could talk about anything for hours, even after 13 years together. This is the first time I’ve listened to this song since it happened.

[@_hrlt]

😭 He had great taste. 🤗

So I told her I wanted a Walkman to listen to automatic for the people , while I painted the duplex , that was my payment a Sony Walkman to listen to automatic for the people.

As a Muslim from the Middle East, it is through the brilliantly crafted songs of R.E.M that I first became exposed to the greatness of Western culture. R.E.M songs remind me of the happy times of my childhood when optimism ruled the day. Things have changed for the worse since then, but I will always have R.E.M hits to fall back on. Thank you Michael Stipe for brilliant works of art! I'll be forever grateful.

It would be interesting to hear Stipe's thoughts on those lyrics. To me it seems to suggest the kids are not free, but are given the illusion of freedom. Especially in the line - "Maybe I'll ride, maybe you walk, maybe I drive to get off, baby." In other words those really driving the direction of the world get off on their power over others, while kids are encouraged to be rebellious and rock n roll and feel free as long as they don't get in the way of the drivers.

[@pjsteele1802]

Over the years since they created their awesome music, and time passing, every one of these talented musicians, have become seasoned. Michael Stipe's voice has become so balanced. I would not object to R.E.M. mastering a "then" and "now' version of all their music, especially DRIVE. Legend!

Same Mariusz. I hadn’t heard or thought I’d this track for many years then this morning it came into my head and wouldn’t leave. Weird. It’s a classic for sure. Made me really want to go get high though and i was trying so hard to stay clean......

With this song, R.E.M. finally inducted to Classic Rock Hall of Fame. Thanks to Mr. John Paul Jones' magical orchestral touch.

[@msturn1975]

Jonesy! If a casual observer knew the stuff he did in the 60's, they would have never pictured him going into the Zeppelin.

Automatic for the People was 1 of the great albums of the 90s. R.E.M. at the top of their game. Profound, emotionally driven & brutally honest.

[@adanperes7203]

This is not underrated it's one of the most greatest songs of the history of music. The " maybe you rock around the clock , tick- tock" it's the spirit of the times an apology of 60's bill haley! Rock around So if you are young now its hard to understand' but Its " priceless" Those are the days"

[@SunnyLyngdoh]

As an Indian I can safely say this is underrated. Many of my peers grew up listening to Pink Floyd, for example, and are familiar with Comfortably Numb, High Hopes, etc. But mention this song and you are likely to get blank stares. Undoubtedly, as you say, one of the greatest songs in the history of music.

[@JOHNWILLIAMS-yw5iv]

Wasn't into rem at the time. I was 18 when this record came out. So lucky to have so much amazing material to dive into. Same with L7. Didn't even start listening until 2019 and I'm just blown away by both bands. Love them so much

[@gustercc]

They had 3 or 4 masterpieces that will forever be imbedded in the halls of rock and roll. This album, this motherfucker right here, Automatic For the People, will always have a special place in my heart. Just for the sheer beauty and level of clarity at which Michael was writing and the music the band was playing. It was like once big gorgeous universe working in sync.

[@tehf00n]

About a year before Automatic for the people released, I was at a random guy's house at a party. He said to me "Have you heard REM?", I replied "Nope". He said "You will. They are gonna be massive". Next year AFTP released and although I was into thrash metal and speed metal, I gave it a listen and was gobsmacked. Played it for weeks. Especially this tune.

[@eddieschwab864]

I feel you on that for sure to similar conversation was selling my friends that were huge country fans around about the same time. Many of us still loved the country stuff but REM we adore it

[@janeperkins8870]

Said it once and will repeat a thousand times.........Michael Stipe's voice is truly an instrument.....mesmerizing, hypnotic, butter, sugar and all things good pouring out of his vocal chords combined with emotion expressed with every hand and body movement.......He and Gord Downie are so much alike with their moves. Love them both

[@patrickryan5570]

For REM this song made the world stand up and listen... A total game changer.... It still gives me goosebumps...

[@jasonh289]

I love REM... and I only found this song cause of the TV series Billions... wow.. to still discover some gems is great

Music is like a time machine. It's weird how you can hear a song and it transports you to another time and place

[@douglasmilne6713]

Only music can do that

[@lisagd22]

It was especially so before people could download or stream music. When we only had the radio, a new song would be played a lot, so hearing it now takes me right back to those days. Also, it gave my peers and me that shared experience that will always connect us. I feel kind of bad for people who haven't experienced music that way.

When I was a sophomore in high school I would fall asleep to this album playing on my CD stereo when I spent the weekends at my Grandma's house. This was the song that usually woke me up mid-sleep.
