You have to be either kidding or just playing up to the crowd. When they signed their current contract it was the biggest contract ever. They were for a large portion of the 90's next to U2 as the biggest group in the world.
That song doesn't come off their best known album or their best sounding album (to my ears) but it is one of their best known. To me, a lot of their best songs as the ones the MTV crowd that found them after Losing My Religion don't know but I like that one too.
And yes, they are my favorite group. Stipe is a poet even if you don't agree or been in a musical coma for a few decades.
