November 29, 200817 yr 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).

March 6, 200917 yr 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: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090306/0311554021.shtml
March 7, 200917 yr I just googled that Danish song. Sounds nothing like Supernatural Superserious. It's a good tune though.
June 27, 200916 yr Band Index - Read before making new topic about band If you weren't a Nickelback fan I would be nicer to you.
June 27, 200916 yr 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.
June 27, 200916 yr [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQzhOyHTarU]YouTube - NICKELBACK STOPS SHOW[/ame] :lol:
June 27, 200916 yr Well, her musical taste can't be all bad. She likes R.E.M. And if anyone bashes R.E.M. for being unoriginal, I will have you flogged ;)
June 28, 200916 yr R.E.M is cool i like - Man of the Moon - Losing my religion - Stand - Imitation Of life - Everybody hurts - Nightswimming - All the way to reno
July 26, 200916 yr Love this band. My favourite song is Daysleeper. I can listen to that forever and never get tired of it.
September 9, 200916 yr 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.
