REM. When I first heard them I was 12 and they were fairly new. The guitar, the way the singers voices compliment each other, the way the words drew an abstract picture in my mind that, over the years, has touched me in different ways. There are songs I’ve listened to over and over at certain times in my life. Their activism seemed to exactly coincide with my own as I grew up and became ecologically aware.
When they broke up I honestly thought I wouldn’t ever have a favorite artist again. Of artists still making music, I love Cage the Elephant. They have such a varied sound that you can tell what headspace they must have been in when they made that album. I listened to Social Cues and immediately said, “Someone is getting divorced.”
