REM song tournament: Lament Wins!

[philpritchard]

11th Untitled seems to be well regarded around here, but I'm glad those others are getting some love. Those are truly favorites of mine. Suspicion and IBH are high points on their records. 7 Chinese Bros is a personal favorite and I think a bit under appreciated (probably my #2 only behind Harborcoat). Texarkana is understandably a bit lost on the powerhouse OoT, but it's a fantastic display of how good the band is without Stipe behind the wheel.

I may have drafted Untitled in the first or second round last time we did this. I feel like I picked it really early, and I was just hoping I could get it a bit later this time around.

I fully agree about Texarkana.

7 Chinese Brothers is no Voice of Harold

That's the first time I've heard that, but he did right to write new lyrics. I definitely prefer 7CB.

Actually all he is doing is reading the liner notes to some gospel cd

Oops, hit submit before it typed anything.

I was going to say, "that's probably what turned me off!"

You don't actually prefer it do you? That sounds condescending. Do you prefer it, really? There, that's a little better.

7cb has a haunting romanticism to it that I can't get too much of.

You took 9-9 te same round I was going to, but then again I like almost all of Murmur quite a bit so I was ok with it.

I'm quite surprised there's not been more voting participation considering how popular the band seemed to be amongst the board population.

I sometimes wish we could make this a half PJ, half R.E.M. board.

About the voting, I think we need a PR campaign. Raise some awareness. Need a mod to do something unusual that sticks out, draw attention to the thread. Like point every thread title to this one for a few hours...

I'll do my part

[epilogue]

Couldn't we get threads like this stickied on the Board Index page? Maybe under "Announcements" or something?

Of course not

And I'll announcement this next round

We are smiling at each other a lot. It's getting kind of awkward.

I love you all.

Someone found a way to make that duck smile...

[Norah]

That duck is smiling!

[Kaius]

This world is big, and so awake, I stayed up late, to hear your voice. This light is here, to keep you warm, this song is here, to keep you strong.

I made a list, of things to say. All I want to say, all I really want to say is...
