1981 Singles # 12 R.E.M

 


Not a record that showed up on my teenage radar at the time of its release. Or for that matter on any chart anyway at the time, though critics in the Staes did take notice. It still doesn't sound anything at all like a record that should be in a chart. It's more a clarion call from underground or out in the woods that something needed to and was going to change. It took me a couple of years for me to cotton on. At the time of Murmur's release to be precise. That record was strange but this is something else entirely. And both songs in the package matter equally.
