"Losing My Religion", by R.E.M.

A song that makes no sense whatsoever (Stipe even said so himself...) performed by perhaps the single most overrated "band" in the history of popular music. Or would that title go to U2?

Wait - change that....I think "Stand" is even dumber. Also, by R.E.M.

Wait - no, I think maybe "Shiny, Happy People" by Michael Stipe (of R.E.M.) and a bunch of other shiny, happy people.

I think they're all ON THE DOPE!!!

What the hell ever happened to....(novel concept coming here)..........................GOOD, MEANINGFUL, WELL-CRAFTED FREAKIN' MUSIC??!??!??!??!?

Good lord, somebody shoot me now!

"Shiny, Happy People" is on the Blender list.
