I went back and re listened to Queens of the Stone Age. Found a new appreciation for albums that I didn’t previously love (Lullabies to Paralyse and Era Vulgaris) that I now can’t stop listening to.

How did REM hold up? Some of their stuff I love, but some I just couldn’t get into. My favourite era of theirs is the late 80’s run of albums from Life’s Rich Pageant up until Green. I re listened to Out of Time lately, and found that it really doesn’t hold up. Just my opinion, but it sounds dated, and there’s some real filler on it - the good songs are excellent on there but there are only 3 or 4 of them and the rest wasn’t very good.
