@D, I may be a tool, but what's the big deal... it's not like Stipe died or something. They'll do a dumb fucking reunion tour in a few years, and meanwhile, you can tune in to KINK (or whatever oldies pop station) and be bombarded with a non-stop REM wankfest for the next few days.
Steve R, "whiny 80s college pop" is just not accurate. Stipe isn't whiny, compared to most indie rockers or even most hard rockers. Mills backup vocals aren't whiny. 2011 "collapse into now" is 21 years out of the 80's and might even recapture some of their good years. College? Sure, they went to college for a while, but your category of "college pop" is also bullshit-- name a significant set, and defining features, for us if you will.
Sorry someone pissed in your cheerios this morning. Keep it to yourself while others pay respects.
Saw them for the 'Green' tour in Frankfurt. Great show.
May you have Warrant songs stuck in your head all day.
And I still have no idea what in the hell he is singing.
