They kept their emotional integrity all the way into the late 90s. How many other bands made it 20 years without falling apart or giving in?
We all die someday. They kept it burning longer than most.

great post. one of my favorite REM tracks.

all brilliant haunting songs and jangly sound of ricbenbacter guitar similar to the byrds, tom petty etc this, driver 8 , green grow the rushes , can't get there from here, favourites.
they were an indie band doing it their way not a groomed set of recording companies performing monkeys . kurt cobain paid tribute to them for this.

Maybe these maps and legends have been misunderstood.

College music listened to by college students on college radiio in college dorm rooms

@REMchout i would agree, production is flat, songs are masterpieces
-
They are still really great live. And who knows what the next release will be like.

Michael Stipe,Mike Mills,Bill Berry and Peter Buck.These guys used to be a great band,until the mid 1990's.Once the 211st century hit, they seemed to run out of gas.They don't put out the hits like they used to.Then again,what bands do?

Thanks again, REMChout. A year after Fables came out some of the band members (Berry, in particular) were quoted in the rock rags as saying this record "sucked." I always thought it was their finest acheivement, their creative peak. Some band members have come around since and admitted that the album is dark, moody and compellingly Southern gothic, Faulknerian, etc.--which of course it is. Thanks again REMChout.

I really like Fables...I'd say that some songs' production sounds flat, but still definitely a quality album.
