Adios R.E.M and thanks for all the incredible records accross your thirty one years, not least the first four albums which to my mind are each perfect and utterly seminal. I'd estimate less than 1% of all the bands i've ever loved have managed to make one perfect record in their time, to knock out four in the space of as many years, plus arguably one or two further classics after that is just mind-blowing. The quintessential indie rock band. I fear they won't ever make them like R.E.M any more.
Here are my very favourite R.E.M tracks, just for the hell of it:
1) Laughing
2) Green Grow The Rushes
3) Driver 8
4) Talk About The Passion
5) I Believe
6) You Are The Everything
7) Radio Free Europe
8) Daysleeper
9) Life And How To Live It
10) Man On The Moon
11) Catapult
12) Pretty Pursuasion
13) Nightswimming
14) Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars)
15) Harbourcoat
16) Just A Touch
17) Half A World Away
18) The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight
19) Try Not To Breathe
20) Perfect Circle
