"Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. Is about how Michael Stipe lost his copy of 'Pink Flag'.

Call me Scruffs McGruff, but I'd venture to say that sentence was written by someone who doesn't listen to music. GuitarWorldBot?
And yes, Pink Flag is the fucking best.

Not sure if this is a joke thread making fun of that person's skill as a writer but yeah, he's not saying those bands are from England, or punk.
And dude, guitarworld.com? why?

I actually was reading the Echosex press release and that Wire sharticle was at the bottom. Chank knows how I spend my days.

You and $harkToootth are likely right that he was trying to list bands influenced by Wire, but benroe delivered my favorite reply. (and also the Darrenator's opening was about 4 sentences crammed into one, that's a fucking mess)

That's what I read. Maybe it's not the most clear, but yeah. I'm also not familiar with Wire, so maybe I'm missing something else here.
Also, The Almond Brothers Band.

The influenced thing makes a lot more sense. Elastica were, after all, sued by Wire
Whatever, I adore that record too. If you're gonna rip something off, rip off something good.
