Unforgettable Fire is the last album I bought by U2 (yes, on vinyl). Even back then, I was never overly impressed. Give me the first 3 1/2 albums by REM if we want to get nostalgic for the 80's.

I'd be quick to rank REM as equal to U2.

So would DVD Talk http://forum.dvdtalk.com/music-talk/...-who-wins.html

You're welcome.

I'd say REM was much more influential on the music that followed than U2 as well.

This dispute can only be answered by a Julie Taymor-off... Across the Universe vs Spider-Man on Broadway!!!

The Beatles are one of the most underrated bands of all time.
