Btw, even if the rest of DLO is not represented, at least Chronic Town should be!

I'm not sure what specifically you think sounds rushed about the chorus. But whatever, you obviously justhave crappy tastedon't agree with me on this one.
Finest Worksong and Turn You Inside Out are the exact same song, by the way.
That's the thing about these Survivor games. If you do all albums and all releases for bands that have an extensive catalogue, it stops being fun after a while, especially for the poor person brave enough to organize it.
While I'd love to have a full survivor game for REM, I completely understand why there are wishes to try and narrow it down a bit.
Yeah.
Thanks. I already have RHW. And I grabbed Airliner just in time before you edited!
It was really weird seeing nicely dressed, receding hairline Michael turn into t-shirt-wearing, shaved head Michael in that Kenneth video. It was as strange a transformation as cowboy Bono into The Fly.
I think Monster was the last album I bought at midnight the day of its release. It was in college. Good times.
I had a star tee shirt like the one Stipe wears in that video - I wish I still had it. I actually had a good handful of cool shirts from the Monster tour. That was the first tour I saw them on, and saw them twice. Milwaukee and Chicago.
I remember buying Monster the day it was released, down in Manhattan (I was interning at the NFL at the time)...and listening to it for the first time on the D train on the way home....
Did they make portable 8 track players?
Monster hasn't held up well for me, but damn, did I love that album when it came out. I think Let Me In and I Took Your Name are the two songs I still really love from that album.
I'm trying to remember where the concert was. I saw them in Chicago in 95 and in 99. I think both places were outdoor, but both times I had a reserved seat under the covered part.
Was that the Rosemont?
Radiohead opened for them in 99, but we missed them because my friend's brother and his wife were total slow-asses. But it was entirely worth it, because my friend got really awesome seats through the fan club. I think they were, like, 9th row? We were smack dab in the center, and everyone around us had paid through the nose for scalped tickets. We enjoyed the looks on their faces when we said we paid face value.
It was a really great show.
