There's a band in Denmark called TV2 that always refers to themselves as "the world's most boring band". I don't think they took REM into account when thinking up that slogan.

"Everybody Hurts" was actually directed at Kurt Cobain. They were friends and Stipe was basically trying to reach him through his depression.
Anyway, REM may have been somewhat hit or miss in the 90s, but their 80s stuff is pretty great imo, especially the first EP and first album.
