R.E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands.

Here is the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.E.M.

These are their studio albums:
Murmur (1983), Reckoning (1984), Fables of the Reconstruction (1985), Lifes Rich Pageant (1986), Document (1987), Green (1988), Out of Time (1991), Automatic for the People (1992), Monster (1994), New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996), Up (1998), Reveal (2001), Around the Sun (2004), Accelerate (2008), Collapse into Now (2011)

So... anyone have listened to their songs?

R.E.M is an amazing band. It's sad that they're not popular enough.

I absolutely love their album Up, although I've listened to most of their albums. My favourite songs are Hope, I'll Take The Rain, Life and How To Live It and Diminished. There might be some more but those are the only ones I can think of right now.

R.E.M separated. A man tweeted: What separates REM does not bother me. It's okay if the Beatles stay together ...

R.E.M. is a great band. Just like Kops, my favorite album from them is probably Up, followed by Automatic For The People, and Green, and possibly Document.

I hear they separated recently? Well, you know how many bands "separate" and then make a comeback tour?

You don't know...

Whaaaaat? They... seperated? What the...



T.T

EDIT: Yeah, even Wikipedia says that they seperated...

On September 21, 2011, the band announced via its website that it was "calling it a day as a band". Stipe said that he hoped the band fans realized it "wasn't an easy decision": "All things must end, and we wanted to do it right, to do it our way." Long-time associate and former Warner Bros. Senior Vice President of Emerging Technology Ethan Kaplan has speculated that shake-ups at the record label influenced the group's decision to disband. The band members will finish their collaboration by assembling the compilation album Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011, scheduled for release in November 2011. The album will be the first to collect songs from R.E.M.'s I.R.S. and Warner Bros. tenures, as well as the group's final studio recordings from post-Collapse into Now sessions.

Darn, I'll miss you, R.E.M. You were an amazing band.
