Simon and Garfunkel are '60s for a start

Obviously R.E.M win the '90s, although their '80s alt rock output is better. Pulp's best songs are their upbeat rocky numbers. Radiohead I feel are too diverse but they have the best '00s albums.

But the question is about 'cheesy soft rock', so for the '00s Coldplay obviously win, they dominated cheesy soft accessible rock in that decade (Yellow, Fix You, all the ****in etc.s). But that one Snow Patrol track, Run, or Chasing Cars or w/e is also pretty cheesy but enjoyable.

But yeah, R.E.M. and Coldplay were probably the most overplayed. Kids and adults loved them.

Yet another reason for you to stick around this planet gurl. You got loads of games you have missed out on.

Ah, I was thinking of Mumford and Sons, not Simon and Garfunkle. How did I mix them up? 😕

But yeah, R.E.M for '90s, Coldplay for '00s, easily.

Yeah too many. I already have so many ****ing PS4 games I haven't played yet. I haven't even unwrapped Darkest Dungeon and that that weird Hideo Kojima COVID-19 courier simulator

There you go, you at least gotta stick around to play all these games. You've missed out on tons of great rpg's on PC. Didn't you even say you never played Baldurs Gate 1 or 2? That's a travesty given you're a D&D fan. And Neverwinter Nights? Came out in 2002 and still has a thriving modding community. That is another game you need to play given it takes place in the Forgotten Realms too.

I've always listened to R.E.M but again, I mostly just love their '80s albums

I'll die when I want to die okay!!

Look maybe there's a chance that if the world doesn't descend into crazy dystopia and my brain produces some more serotonin that I won't kill myself. It all depends on various things. But if I'm going to be stuck at home forever, underpaid and shunned, then **** all that, mens. No point.

Those games are bare old

They came out with enhanced editions of both BG 1 and 2. And a Neverwinter Nights enhanced.

And you'd like pillars of eternity too, which is more modern. And Tyranny too. Great spell system. Complicated. Best spell system I have ever encountered in a game.

What about if I just flat out asked you not to kill yourself? Would you still do it?

Especially if my brain is like "I'ma show you the same mental image of a knife stabbing your dick on repeat for 24hrs a day"

Who needs that? Right? Who needs that?

They're overplayed, not even that good, and the people who like them are phaggots who aren't fans of R.E.M.

Losing My Religion, although, just as overplayed as the other two, is still good. The difference being that it at least has some variety in instrumentation and chords and not repetitive to the point where you're just waiting for the chorus.

All I'm saying is that if shit just keeps being this awful for more than 12 months, and the world keeps being a shitty mess (which it will), then I'm going to have an active get-out clause.

Asking someone who is in extreme pain to keep being in extreme pain is cruel and selfish.

The two songs I hate by them are "everybody hurts" and "end of the world as we know it"

The end-song backing vocal "It's time I had some time alone" is also the bit that makes the song, somehow

Losing My Religion doesn't get old tho, yeah.

THAT'S GREAT IT STARTS WITH

Everybody Hurts is pretty lame, yeah, but End of the World is so ****ing good, wym?

I'd rather it be the end of the song.

Remember that scene in Tommy Boy

You know what? **** 90s. I went to University in the 10s. How about going forward in time.

YouTube video

Document is the best R.E.M album, and End of the World is on that very album. The album also has Finest Worksong, Exhuming McCarthy, and The One I Love. Come on, that album rules.
