I'm not arguing whether or not there are similarities between 54-40 and REM. I'm just saying there were not persistent comparisons going on between the two bands. Perhaps some people have compared the two bands, but to say "persistent"? I don't think there were even enough people aware of both bands to be making "persistent REM comparisons." I was always listening to the radio and reading music rags during the 80s/90s, and I didn't come across a single article comparing them. Show me one.
AGG! Neil is a hobo! (: he looks like Ethan Hawke here! No way - Is that the famous "PeeWee"??? Great post! Now I can see where those persistent REM comparisons come from: never really got that connection before.

@54luvyou40 - Sorry, but I don't think 2 years ago, 5, 10, 20 years ago there were any "persistent REM comparisons." LOL.

@BayviewFinch , then you need to add the first two REM discs to your collection to flesh things out for you.
