[QUOTE=delphica] I didn’t vote in Bracket D at all because I’m not familiar enough with it. Bracket A was a killer, you have _no idea_ how long it took me to decide on some of the match-ups (but also fun because I listened to some of the songs to figure out which ones to vote for). If you combine Brackets A and B, it’s possible I spent more time deliberating those choices then I have spent on the presidential election so far. [/QUOTE] Well, presidential elections come and go, but music actually represents an _important_ part of your life. It looks like we have similar tastes. I’m no fan of post-Bill Berry R.E.M., though they still always manage to slip one or two good songs on their albums (except for their last one, which was pretty much worthless. I hear their upcoming release supposed to be somewhat of a return to form, though). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/march-r-e-m-madness-opening-round-closed/441308.md?page=1)
