REMs run from Chronic Town to Green is artistically the most consistently great body of work that rock music has to offer, bar none IMO. But I do have a theory that if you weren't there firsthand as it was happening it may not seem quite as good.
To me there was a sort of magical atmosphere surrounding their music and the associated scene. The "mystical" aspect that so many detractors find pretentious was a lot of the appeal. Never was there a better application of "You had to be there".

You just nailed it better than any professional critic or commentator I've read. Absolutely dead on synopsis.
