Ryan Adams? I think I'll listen to Rock n Roll

yeah buddy. I'm a huge Ryan Adams fan. RnR is def a good album. Though I kind of think of it as mid-tier RA overall. |

Douche. (Him, not you. You should do better, though.) Also: death to everybody who's ever been in Clone Temple Pilots. |
You've already told me about your RA hatred. It hasn't changed my ears tho.

Wait... Ryan Adams was in Stone Temple Pilots? Er... I don’t think that’s what you meant, but your delivery could use some work. |
@noisereductions I really like that album, and I like some of his more country stuff too. I always think I should listen to him more.
coming to terms- arco |
I was thinking about this recently: what are folks' here opinion of REM? I feel like that's a band I have no recollection of anyone ever really talking about here. Love em? Hate em? Indifferent?

A bit sick of them, but only because I've listened to them a lot in the past. But about once a year I'll tear through the CDs I have by them. Actually, I just made a random mix for someone and put on about three or four REM songs.
I used to think Murmur was their best. Now I think it's Fables. True story! Fascinating, yeah? Reveal and Around the Sun are inarguable the worst, but the final two records had some good songs. "Uberlin" is pretty great. I'm sure they've been discussed before. There has to be a few threads dedicated them, but maybe searching would be a pain. What do you think? |
![]() some great great stuff there |

I’m sure everyone has gone through an REM phase here. Not sure, but... you know.. it’s likely. I’ve been though many, and ultimately settled on being a “Murmer,” and “Out of Time” through “New Adventures in HiFi” kind of fan. Those are the albums I still come back to. Especially New Adventures. Goddamn brilliant. Great band at time, ok band most of the tim, good force overall in music. Right? Right. Bored me silly in concert though. |

ok i’ll abbreviate my morning by not waiting for your response and unload both barrels so that i can get to work already and stop thinking about this shit.
you seem so culturally alienated that you can’t appreciate the treasures of latin american music unless your beloved david byrne puts them in a fucking hipster compilation or steals some beats, only then you can drink them from his asshole like some glorious ambrosia. the living image of underdevelopment: exporting raw materials and importing manufactured goods. or worse: there is good manufacturing: but you’d rather drink boone’s farm than the best chilean wine. sad. lavoe and willie colon and blades have much better music and lyrics and singing chops than your shitty springsteen or the liz fucking phair in the blinking signature you wear like a signifier of your desperate yearnings of belonging to where you’re not. and sure your rotolandia is far enough from any surviving blacks that you can claim you know nothing of afro-caribbean music, but it’s hilarious how many pretentious dumdums look down on those roots and then claim to ‘love jazz’. oh how you love jazz because the name made it into the english language and it’s therefore now “the other” you wish to become, not the self you hate. Tu amor es un periódico de ayer Que nadie más procura ya leer Sensacional cuando salió en la madrugada A medio día ya noticia confirmada Y en la tarde materia olvidada Tu amor es un periódico de ayer |

I love everything up to Automatic for the People. That is the album where they changed to an adult-contempo REM-lite that I absolutely HATE. Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction, Murmur, and Chronic Town EP are some of my fave all time albums. |
