I've always liked 90s REM (I was 14 when Monster came out), but it took a LONG time for their 80s albums to click with me.rick malone wrote:Do you like 80s or 90s R.E.M.?guestT wrote:I have this problem with most music from the 80s tbh.tragabigzanda wrote:I have the exact same problem with Bob Mould/Husker Du.guestT wrote:The Replacements have got to be one of the most difficult bands to get into posthumously.

Also, I wouldn't expect a big Husker Du fan who was a teenager in the 80s to become a Pearl Jam fan.

you shut the fuck up. Is basically what im getting at.I'll try that. I'm reading "Trouble Boys" now and am determined to make the band stick this time.
If you are even remotely interested, i can all but guarantee you will come around and absolutely be floored by their music.

I'm fully aware I'm in the vast minority here. I like one or two songs, but anything beyond that...

Neither band is my cup of tea either. I don't know their catalogs very deeply but from what I know the surface elements just don't appeal to me.
