Band Face Off - Round 24

[Jyqm]

I'm not much of an REM fan - at least not enough to own any of their albums. I do own Coldplay's first two albums, though. But I'm voting for REM.

I enjoyed Parachutes immensely, but I never could into most of the songs on A Rush Of Blood to The Head, and I had lost interest entirely by the time the new record came out, which I suppose is ironic considering how big they are now. But when I was at Coachella this spring, I skipped Coldplay to go see Spoon.

(Random side note: How about Nirvana vs. Pavement?)

Anyway, part of the reason I've never bought an REM album is because I like a lot of their songs, but they're all on different records. And I think that says something, at any rate. So REM it is.

Plus, Michael Stipe was just so cute rocking out to "Because the Night" with Springsteen on the Vote for Change tour last year.

EDIT: Also, Michael Stipe on "Pete and Pete"? Brilliant!
