REM vs U2

I think this is turning into an i love REM and U2 thread, it's hard to pick between twins firekind.

5? are you serious? buy/download their albums. if you have heard their albums up to document then you will know many more than 5 songs. they don't stop there either.

i am not spitting on u2 but the whole worship us thing stinks. their gigs are too big. they say the 360 thing is about getting closer to the audience. bullshit. its about stuffing more people into an arena.

still a class band despite bono. rem has pretty much never made a bad track.

sunday. bloody sunday. i could never get the handle on sundays either

Yeah I am just not really that huge a fan of REM, it is possible you know, people have differing tastes and I do not have ones that correspond with yours it seems. Also I did not say that I did not know more than 5 songs I said I could barely think of 5 i liked. There are songs I know that I hate, like Orange Crush, I fucking loathe that song but I do know of its existence. I am not trying to diss you or whom you like I am just not a lover of the band.

how can you hate orange crush? lol

Orange crush and U2's Lemon it sounds like a bitter sweet symphony.

Just not my thing, I like metal, punk and hard rock, REM are really laid back, I can love songs that aren't in the genres I defined but REM just never really clicked with me.
