REM Make Men Cry

Band\'s 1992 single makes more grown men weep than any other, apparently

REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’ is the song which makes most men cry, according to a new poll.

A new poll conducted by the Performing Rights Society found that the 1992 ballad (with a string arrangement courtesy of Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones) was the song which was found to make men cry the most.
