And considering the gigs and gigs of ridiculous stuff I have downloaded on there, the removal of one band is a fair trade. <br><br>(I have plenty of their albums on my desktop PC, don't worry, and also my cassette collection - this is one group I can feel comfortable saying "cassette collection" on and not getting weird looks, haha) well, to be fair, it's technically her computer, so I don't really have much ground to stand on there, haha.

No needs to be removing music from your iTunes! That would be grounds for divorce if that happened to me. :) I'm glad to hear it. No needs to be removing music from your iTunes!

I went to grad school in Athens, GA back in the early 1990s and had the pleasure of seeing each member of REM out in a bar or restaurant in town during my two years. Peter Buck's wife used to (perhaps still does) own the 40 Watt Club in downtown Athens, and Monday night was the sort of low-down gay night at the club. Michael Stipe came in several times with a group of the mangiest people I've ever seen. I would have run the other way if someone hadn't recognized him! That said, I LOVE the REM albums from the that period. "Automatic For The People" (from the sign in front of Weaver D's Fine Foods in Athens) is lush and gorgeous. It takes me back...<br><br>REO became a rock band for women during their big success so it doesn't surprise me that you don't like them. :) I liked the uptempo songs, like "I Do' Wanna Know".<br><br>And picking on poor Helen Reddy... shameful. She's really out of place in an '80s discussion. She's one of the first singers I remember listening to (yes, no rock influences in my house during my childhood!) and I have very fond memories of all of her hits. Some of her stuff is classic '70s fluff, but "Angie Baby" is still pretty moody and mysterious. Helen's voice was always a bit cold to me, and it works perfectly in a song like "Angie Baby". She was quite vocal about how the record company forced her to record a bunch of songs that she hated during the second half of the seventies.<br><br>I also lived in New Orleans during the Red Rockers' brief reign. LOVE "China"! Such an atmospheric record and you'd never guess that they were from the Big Easy. Well, this is clearly a lot of love for the Replacements and REM in the room this week!
