I'm not saying that, but here's a collection of people who are bigger fans of R.E.M. than the casual bunch who may hear tracks on the radio or hear compilation albums, grew up on them, etc... and they have connections to different tracks.

Someone's favorite track could be "Leave" over something more popular like "Shiny Happy People," which more people know because it was a single, had radio-play, and was on a more popular album.

Popular doesn't equal finest, and finest doesn't equal popular.

So have you heard any of their albums besides Automatic and the greatest hits?

P.S. Someone get me a tissue.

Dude, don't get between me and my Automatic. Besides, you killed off Find The River!

PS: I have almost all their albums and my top favorites are Automatic, Out Of Time, New Adventures, LRP and Document.

Fair enough. I guess I just don't like that album as much as most people do.

Yes, I helped destroy Find The River. But apparently karma is a bitch, and it's taken my Fall On Me.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Losing My Religion not being on my list of favorite REM songs has nothing to do with it being a Grammy winner or because it was so popular.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Zoots.

Well, I'm not talking about everyone. I was specifically addressing those fans who shun anything mainstream or popular just to be elitist. Sorry if it came off like I was calling all hardcore fans as elitist.
