This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I hate that goddamn "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" song.

There are certain albums which mark the soundtrack of my descent into geekdom, the sound of building endless M:tG decks and playing half-elf rangers in 2e. Automatic For The People is one of them, and you can never take it away from me.

This also explains my disturbing fixation with Ace of Bass. :tinfoil:

The internet recognizes only five forms of self-expression: bragging, talking shit, ass kissing, bullshitting, and moaning about how pathetic you are. Combine one with your favorite hobby and get out there!

Quote from: ZalmoxisI've never cared much for REM. I think they're one of the most over-rated bands of the 80's and 90's.
Which, in the absence of anything resembling a qualifier, boils back down to "I've never cared much for REM."

To be blunt :
 Songs and groups only really resonate with me if I associate them  with a good relationship. No past girlfriend of mine made a big deal about R.E.M.  - So I could take'em or leave 'em.

 However ... I have VERY good memories of La Isla Bonita" as sung by Madonna and a certain rainy afternoon with a significant other.

 Wang Chung and "Everyone have Fun Tonight" is damn good memory.

 So is "I melt with you " by a certain late '80s alternative band.

 Heq, whole seasons of the "Highlander" TV series are pleasdant memories because of an almost girlfriend. (she REALLY liked swords and Adrian Paul)

Priunce and the Revolution?? YEP, very good memories of a certain relationship...

 You get the idea....

Of their later stuff, I quite liked "Imitation of Life" and "Bad Day".

REM's one of those groups (like the Tragically Hip and the Tea Party) where a "Best Of" is about all I need.  I like 'em, but a selection of hits is good enough - I don't need the full discography.

That said, my wife's a huge fan of REM, hence, I get the full discography anyway.

Just to clarify: anybody out there digs the REM, more power to you, get your Stipe on.

Me, I no like-a the REM.  Hard, in the face.  I'm with Koltar on the tunes, frankly, but I...suspect...you all knew that already.

Which makes it a perfectly valid statement.

You know, it's kind of funny.  Increasingly, I'm all in favor of people declaring their distaste for things they don't like, as long as they state it in a complete sentence.  "Game X sucks!" is an incomplete statement of opinion masquerading as a fact -- it's going to take a lot more effort to support that statement.  "I think Game X sucks!" is a succinctly valid statement, clearly an opinion.

Wait.  What's this all about?  Right.  REM rocks.  Well, they used to. :haw:
