R.E.M. - Crush with Eyeliner (Monster, Remastered)

[@lmbarak]

This is my favorite REM song.

[@supererikman5331]

same here. favorite REM song of my favorite REM album

[@eoj2495]

Yes!

[@stanley2004]

Totally the best..

[@ProjectDv2]

My second, for me "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?" edges it out by a slim margin.

[@N.G.S._01]

You & me both, friend.

[@zambonijones350]

Literally the coolest song of the 90's.

[@jimnfl7134]

It is in My Top 10 of that decade.

[@Harry-q2q6y]

I had not listened to this song in almost 30 years. There was a dive bar in North Seattle (Lion's Lair on Aurora Ave. N) that had it on their jukebox. In those days I used to practically live in the place. A great tune that I used to play again and again.

[@SonofMrPeanut]

I know they said New York Dolls are the main inspiration, but this is such a Roxy Music song. I love every minute.

[@gab2876]

Both acts just hit that sleazy glam rock sound, I hear both in this song

[@MrMkayultra]

I'm exploring y'all again , REM . So sick of this COvid

May 26th 1995 11th Grade, Its FRIDAY! Woke up at 4 a.m. to eat some LSD, it is now just before 6am, peaking on LSD, the Sunrise :).... its the first warm day of the year in Portland.... this CD in my cd player... in my headsets.... volume very high.... wow I'm happy for the first time in awhile, hate the long cold winters and lame Portland in general.... but for a moment, its Friday and I'm tripping, and I know summer is a week away and I'm leaving! Trippy song 🐄🛸

". . . she's a sad tomato . . . ." What a line!

[@butchjackson4428]

Borrowed from songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, originally sung by Lauren Bacall in the movie " The Big Sleep" if memory serves? . . .from 1946. Song was called " Sob, Sob Sister".

[@raisa_cherry35]

I only know these two songs of REM "Whats the frequency kenneth" and "Losing my religion".I was a baby during this era so haven't heard much beyond these two songs,but I love REM 💕💕💕

[@turdfurgusson]

You don't know "Stand" "The One I Love" or "Shiny Happy People" ?

i was in Pre k too but was fortunate to have an older brother that had this album, i remember listening to this album like nonstop when i was like 5!!

I was lucky enough that my mom was a *huge* REM fan... so, when I 5 years old I was soaked in Automatic, then when I was 6 or 7 I was soaked in Monster...

[@quackquacksable]

@@billybeetroot8595 apparently it was about her n the entire album happened around Kurts death so they built it around that n gave it a more grungy feel.. A kind of tribute from rem because it was a more darker indie album for them compared to the others they released previously.
