It's almost december, and 'Accelerate' is still my #1 album of 2008.

Would be the first time R.E.M. made an 'album of the year' for me, since I started making lists (I think I started making them in 1997).

OMG R.E.M on Sesame street

REM Copyright Suit Against Danish Band May Backfire, Since The Dane's Song Came First

 

Last year, the lawsuit between Joe Satriani and Coldplay got lots of attention, as Satriani accused Coldplay of ripping off one of his songs. Of course, Satriani's claims were greatly weakened when people turned up other songs from well before Satriani's that sounded quite similar as well.

 

It looks like REM and Warner Music may be in a similar situation. Michael Scott points us to the news that Warner and REM are suing the Danish pop band Hej Matematik, claiming that the band's song Walkmand copies REM's 2008 song Supernatural Superserious. There's just one (somewhat major) problem. Walkmand is a cover song. The original was by another Dane, Michael Hardinger, and was called Walk, Mand!!, and was recorded in 1981... seventeen years before REM's release. In fact, Hej Matematik got permission from Michael Hardinger before doing their version. I'm guessing REM did not. Feel free to compare all three songs below:

I just googled that Danish song. Sounds nothing like Supernatural Superserious.

 

It's a good tune though.

Chris has got to stop kissing Radiohead's asses.

The official R.E.M thread.

Band Index - Read before making new topic about band

 

If you weren't a Nickelback fan I would be nicer to you.

She is a Nickelback fan? :uhoh:

i dont know a lot of their songs, but i really like them :D

 

HOLY COW.

 

She must be banned from listening to music.

Usually I don't like people who make comments like that, chosing what is good or bad music. But with Nickelback that is not the case. They are bad music. There is no getting around it.

My favourite song is Daysleeper.

 

I can listen to that forever and never get tired of it.

R.E.M.

 

There's no official thread, just a Top 5 songs one.

 

Um yeah, so R.E.M. is one of the best bands ever.

 

Nightswimming is one of the greatest piano songs I've ever heard, and they mix soft ballads and powerful rock and have been doing it for years.

 

Oh, and Michael Stipe is the coolest bald guy ever.

R.E.M. is great

 

Accelerate was a thrill ride, i loved it
