“Radio Song” is R.E.M’s third worst song next to “Shiny Happy People” and “Everybody Hurts”.

It has been a very long time since R.E.M. was cool.

"Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey! Pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike, alright!? I want everybody off the bus. I want the shiny people over here, and the happy people over here, ok! I represent angry gun-toting meat-eating f----ng people, alright!" Sit down and shut the ---- up Michael!" - Dennis Leary

‘Radio Free Europe’ is still my favorite REM song. Haven’t liked much of anything they have done since.

Hmm, I actually do like it though...they kind of work the melody of “Nightswimming” into it at one point. Stipe and
fellow alternative-lifestyle singer Kate Pierson of the B52s sang “Shiny Happy Monsters” on Sesame Street, I read...

I’ll give you “Shiny Happy” and “Everybody Hurts”... “Radio Song” is tolerable, in comparison.

“Monster” and everything after that is pretty much un-listenable. “Reckoning” and “Fables of the Reconstruction” are still my favorites.
