I see these comments really often on music videos on youtube which is a bit alarming. Sorry, but if you're so fragile that a single song can make the difference between life or death, you should be seeking professional help. Glad to hear you're still alive though. Hope you're doing better.

I love that R.E.M.'s music has held up with younger people too. They may not be the biggest retro band, but kids who know them know that they were legit, creative, and singular. Numerous times I've known college aged kids who love New Orleans Instrumental and other weird, obscure R.E.M. tracks. The whole effort not to sell out served them well.

MJ FAN When you say Dublin...do you actually mean Dublin?....I seen them at Slane (which is not fucking Dublin, I don't care what any cunt says, it's closer to Belfast for fuck sake!!!)...I think it was 1994 (don't quote me), but they were fucking brilliant, had Kurt Cobain's teal/turquoise fender jazzmaster (?) for "let me in" ....and I'm missing Guns 'N Roses at Slane tomorrow and I'm gutted...

Well consider that most bands seem to do their best work on their first two or three albums (e.g. Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins) and then consider that this fantastic song was on their ninth(!) studio album and that they basically didn't ever make a bad one. So in terms of peak and longevity, yeah, I'd say they're the best.
