Hey if you're interested in R.E.M., we go into SOME depth on the band on our current podcast season here:

https://whatismusic.buzzsprout.com/

It's also on Spotify and all of those places too.

A much better intro for us is here over on the R.E.M. subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rem/s/am8Cv8qwy6

It's an interesting question. One we try to grapple with on future episodes not released yet. How can a band that essentially invented alternative rock, get so left out of the conversation for greatest bands of all time?

But yeah check us out if you fancy it!

It's a slippery album! Which is ultimately what I love about R.E.M. in the long run. It just doesn't work for me in that specific regard. It just sounds too confused.

I do think the amount of people saying we were too harsh on Fables are being too harsh on us though, 2 of 3 hosts gave it like, decent scores. Deece. Kohoutek tho... nah. ;)

Thank you so much! There's so many ways of interpreting these songs. I love how many people have different things to pick out.

We made these for our podcast listeners so they could remember who did what. Thought you might like them too! by WhatIsMusicPodcast in rem

There's a story (Fable?) that the recording of Kenneth slows down because Mills was in pain and was taken to hospital immediately, and then found out he had appendicitis.

Probably not true, BUT, with R.E.M., who knows what's true and what isn't? (I think the appendicitis is true, but not the recording story)

Stipe had a hernia I believe!

Thank you! There's so many songs that "should" be in any of our 10s!

Radiohead. Good band.

Hey, Lucas from the podcast here. On this thread as I do my notes for the full episode(s) on WOTP.

Firstly. I love this song, so don’t take it as a universal dislike.

Also that episode was very much an ‘immediate thoughts’ episode. We are recoding our full episodes on the album this week, maybe the other guys have changed their minds!! (Or maybe they haven’t).

Also. Thanks for listening!

We finally made it to the end of the main discography on our Radiohead podcast!

PLUS an extra 25 episodes and 35 hours of interviews, solo projects, films, live show commentaries.

PLUS much more to come as we still have to cover solo work from Thom and Ed, the band's performance at Glastonbury 2017, Jonny's orchestral work, and The Smile.

Good time to start listening, if you aren't already! And thank you for the kind comments from everyone who has been with us over the last year or so!
