If the CIA ever needed to get any information out of me through their torture tactics, all they'd have to do is play 10 seconds of any Phish song, and I would tell them whatever the frick they wanted to hear..............

I get that not everyone likes them (and plenty hate them), but whatever. Different strokes for different folks. Posted on 12/12/14 at 9:22 pm to Jefferson Dawg

35 million youtube views for this one version of it..... LINK...
And I don't even think youtube was invented until a decade after this song was released.
I don't get it.

that song and video came out at the pinnacle of the video as art era...
you have to keep in mind that just a few years before, rem was called "college music"... and it wasnt on the radio and was only on mtv on Sunday nights on 120 minutes... it was a huge shift in popular music...

That video was so far over the top from most of the banana pop shite that was going on at the time on MTV...you can't look at it or judge from today's standards. Also, it was the peak of REM's pop appeal so you have to put it in context.

Self-absorbed, pointless, non-sensical..... horseshite.

By the way TM Dawg, you mentioned earlier that Talking HEads were underrated.....
They were just inducted into the rocknroll hall of fame.
Hard to be underrated when you are in the rocknroll hall of fame.

C&P is one of my favorite songs ever. Always lose my shite when Phish breaks it out as a 2nd set opener.
Damn, yea I hate that I missed 96-98 Phish, especially 97... C&P->The Great Curve from the Omni 96
People always think of them as trying to copy the Dead but they were far more influenced by the Talking Heads and Zappa than anyone.

I remember seeing that Losing My Religion video on MTV when I was around 10 or 11 or 12 and thought it was cooler than shite... it was something different. As Peter says, it's dip shitty in hindsight, but at the time it was a refreshing detour in the music video world. Until that video, it was trapper keeper highlight effects and Dire Straights Money for Nothing video was considered thought-provoking.
Jefferson, if you thought that video was gay at the time, you are probably gay.

Because the other bands, etc know how original and creative they were. Just based on conversations with people I've met, etc. they just don't get mentioned that much and seem to get passed over for a lot of other bands. Underrated is a pretty subjective term anyways, it's just my opinion.

Oh and that C&P from Rome 1980 is badass, I love the driving rhythm underlying the song and the "the feeling returns..." theme it always keeps leading back into
