i love rem. one of my favorite bands. but their cover of this song is just terrible. it makes it rediculously happy and sissifies the whole fuckin thing. if i wanted fucking sunshine and rainbows i'd listen to some boy band.
LOVE WIRE!!!!!! As great as Joy Division and Killing Joke.... but without getting the same amount of credit.. Wire was a huge, huge influence on the US hardcore underground of the early 1980s... The song "Strange" is a little like sister ray... and a lot of Bowie's "Dance of the Everlasting Skelatal Circle" at the end of "Sweet Thing" from Bowie's Diamond Dogs lp,.

So evident in Blur and the Brit-pop crew's music as-well as the 1980's U.S punk bands.
I cant think of many albums more influential than this one. 1977, 35 years on... It seems to get passed down every generation and work well.
