REM

Is there a more unlikable band out there? Just so pompous, pretentious and overly political. Stipe is intolerable. I had forgotten until I tuned into a doc that was on last night.
Am I the only one that feels this way?

Yes. You are an idiot.
R.E.M. is a pioneering act in the indie rock movement and one of the greater bands of the 80s.

Ah, I got it, since I don't like a particular band it must mean I'm stupid.
The just proves my point that they're extremely unlikable. "I like REM, so I'm really in touch with my feelings and have intellectual high ground just like the band portrays in their music and interviews"

You must have incredibly sophisticated tastes in shitty indie bands

You sound pretty insecure, breh.

Because I don't care for a particular band? I'm not the one calling someone stupid for not liking a band.
I would say they're the insecure ones, much like Stipe

I like REM a lot. I'm sure I don't agree with Stipe on every political issue, but I really don't care.

Stipe was always kind of annoying
I remember reading somebody say The Byrds -- the band that influenced REM so enormously -- were short on love songs, and rather cold emotionally. My goodness, The Byrds were James Brown compared to REM!
I lost interest in REM when they went commercial (someone had to say it) and their lack of emotion can get pretty tiresome. Still they did make some great records early on.

If you're a rock fan and a southerner, I don't know how you don't like "Fables of the Reconstruction".

Respectfully, "Fables" is a Southern themed album.

And Berry was from up north, Buck born in California, and Mills as well. They at least moved to Georgia when they were young.

REM is arguably the single greatest American rock band. They are epoch-shifting, as you can really point to their career as when we shifted era from "punk" to "post-punk". they are largely the sound of college rock which morphed into alternative, and they provided the template for bands to navigate from modest indie beginnings to becoming major label superstars without alienating their original fanbase of purists.
In the great great REM-Replacements war that occurred left of the dial in the 80s, I was a hard core Mats partisan, but... REM won.
