R.I.P. R.E.M.


Voltron

Recommended Posts

They pretty much lost me with "Reveal" and I haven't bought any of their newer albums, though I always went to their concerts when they came by my area. R.E.M. was the first band I really got into, I still have a couple of their albums in the original LP release, "Reckoning" on vinyl absolutely kills the CD version. It's been a long trip with a ton of amazing & influencial music along the way, I think they made the right choice. It was time.

I agree with you, Steve, but it is still a bit sad to see a band that was key to your youth call it quits. As a buddy of mine said when I emailed him, getting old sucks.

It's always sad to lose a piece of your youth. But IMO they went out in style.

And as a buddy of mine said, "it's better than the alternative".

R.E.M. was one of the top bands of the 80's for me, and possibly one of the top 100 bands of all time. Have fun in your next endeavors guys!
