They took a heady picture together. That settles it. R.E.M. was a major influence on Isaac Brock.

If you can't hear the guitar influence then I don't know what to tell you. That, coupled with the fact that the bands have played multiple gigs together signifies that R.E.M. did indeed influence Modest Mouse along with nearly every other indie rock band that emerged from the mid-eighties and beyond.

R.E.M. and modest mouse sound nothing alike mon

agree to disagree, but since we're on the subject R.E.M. - Swan Swan H (Live at "Lucy Cobb Chapel", Athens, GA, USA, 1986)

have you watched the documentary Athens, GA Inside/Out? full movie

No one is saying Brock doesn't respect or admire R.E.M. or that he wasn't inspired by them to make music.

Just that the musical influence isn't as obvious as Heady is leading on.

No way. Like Burt said earlier, indie is such an umbrella term for a wide variety of music that it would be tough to get a definitive list.

Jam bands are simplified compared to indie. Most people agree that the Grateful Dead is #1, WSPSUX, etc..

working on it. who else is tier one besides radiohead, arcade fire, and modest mouse? The killers and arctic monkeys could make it in perhaps?
