This Song Rocks: Bad Day


Original video located here. Accessed 23rd August 2021

Song title: Bad Day

Artist: R.E.M.

Year: 2003

Why I like this song:

This may seem an odd choice. Because when you have a band with such longevity as R.E.M. (formed 1980, disbanded 2011), there will be people that will divide their career into eras and then choose to focus on a select few. As such, this is in the middle of the post_Berry era which a lot of R.E.M. fans dislike. And I know some of said fans dislike this song citing it being a first draft of It's the End of the World As We Know It.

Still, this song is clearly designed to cheer up people after a bad day and I have had plenty of them. Meaning this song has done it's job and done it well
