I've read that Up was one of the main influences on the sound of Kid A, and if you'd heard the album, you'd know that Stipe and co.'s heads were in the electronic place before any Radioheads were. The only difference is, R.E.M. has that electricity undertowing something of value. I find Radiohead to be all pomp and no circumstance, and find it nearly offensive that someone says that they influenced R.E.M. on a page meaning to provide forum for one of the most simply elegant lyrics I've ever heard.
This is one of the most beautiful songs in the catalog, R.E.M.'s or anyone elses. Radiohead's best stuff, by the way, can't touch R.E.M.'s worst.
