tooo maaany bands go ooon and ooon, for a whole range of reasons (money being a huuuge reason), and ive often wanted a band to stop, consider themselves fullfilled, and simply quit.
theres other creative stuff an artist can do with his time, other than to chirn out a repetitive album a year.

like manson ?

REM were a great band, but that was years ago. I love most of their old stuff. Think they've made the right desicion by breaking up, but I think the right time would have been around 10 years ago.

The topic title reminds me of an old video game called Paperboy. :laugh:

I wonder why they were called REM? Is it because their music is so boring that it puts you to REM sleep? :zoinks:

Not every band can be doom metal.  Some of them have to be successful.

They aren't boring because they aren't doom metal. They are boring because there's nothing interesting about their music.

I don't like music centered around lyrics, music that tries to convey a "message". That's just the way I feel. Until I discovered metal, the only music I liked was video game music (like on the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, etc.)

This I agree with. I just want to hear music and not be preached at.

Apparently they have a new album coming out and are going back to the Mechanical Animals sound a bit.
I'm not holding my hopes up but hopefully there'll be something good from it.
I'll just diagnose myself as Goddess of the Universe and have done with it. Hell with autism!  :green: :zoinks:

nice is just something written on biscuits.
