R.E.M vs. U2
One of the best U2 albums. Some of the best guitar chops by The Edge.
A given. This is a classic.Few months back I read an article discussing which of the two was better. Going by the kind of albums they made in the 1980's, it's a pretty tough call. But a much tougher question is:
Which band sucked more after 1991-92?

U2..any day.I might be committing social suicide, but I just detest them. Before 92, and after..REM eez my choice.
LL Cool J: You can rip apart any damn band you like on this blog. Even the Stones.
it's tough actually. i'd go with REM, simply because they should have quit it after the drummer's departure.
But, U2..hmm, ATYCLB and Atomic Bomb were..........
suck equally? hm.
actually, another band that should call it quits, at least no new material-wise....is the Stones. :P
LLG: The indie pimp lurking inside me would always want to peddle REM. Would say '9-9'is one of the most jaw-dropping tracks of the 1980's. But the fact is U2 albums of the 80's were as good if not better.
Antick: Post 92 it really is tough.
Yes, the stone should have quit a long, long time ago. But in terms of quality, barring the 80's, they have been pretty much above average.
Antick: heh. dammit, you took the Stones thing literally
Definitely U2. I can still listen to REM's later stuff.
