"The only two REM songs I hate are "Ignoreland" & "Strange Currencies". There are a few others, mostly on New Adventures, that I dislike, but those two are just awful."
Strange Currencies is kind of a perfect ballad, I just think you h8 ballads

"Strange Currencies" is sappy ott great!
"Ignoreland" is by far my least favorite song in the catalog.

The songs between "Be Mine" and "Electrolite" fade into grey but they're not terrible.
"Ignoreland" is fine. Y'all had to be there in October '92 at the tail end of a dozen years of Reagan-Poppy.

I like that we have a thread for this song, it can get moved to the I Love REM board that eephus and I have been clamoring for

strange currencies made a little more sense when they admitted during the 25th anniversary press tour that they were trying to write an INXS song.
