REM -- Reveal

They were my first concert, 1984 at Radio City.

These songs are from the album Reveal -- came out the same year as U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind, and while I liked that album, I loved this one. It didn't really get any play, though. Stipe never played the game in the same way as Bono. He has charisma, but nobody plays in Bono's league. And when I think of where REM started -- they are probably where they always wanted to be.
