Originally posted by pleasegone:I admired them for the breakup at the time, but was very sad. After thinking it over. No band that good should EVER break up. They should record 10-30 songs a year, and just not release anything for years. They should do maybe 10 shows a year, just to stay in practice...and take maybe 100 days a year to be REM, and 265 days a year for whatever they want. And six years of that would produce 60-180 songs they could look at and release an EP of the best stuff...or nothing...and maybe every five years or so instead of 10 shows, do a short 50 date tour for five months...only about 5 a month.
