R.E.M. is done?

R.E.M. are the New York Yankees of indie rock. They were not my favorite band, but I can't dispute their achievement.

REM hasn't been "indie rock" since about 1985.

It's the end of their world as they've known it, and I feel fine.

Well, there are some that would say the Yankees haven't been the Yankees since 1961...

Well we hadn't been a very good draw on the road for awhile now and are albums were sort of starting to sound alike but give a few years and we'll hook up with the Eagles and do a reunion tour

When stuff like "So. Central Rain", "Turn You Inside Out", "You Are the Everything" comes up on shuffle I think they were a great band from back in the 80s.

And then I remember they also recorded utter shit like "Shiny Happy People" and "Man On the Moon" and then i remember how they really sucked after the 80s.

Even when they sold out I still liked them. I stopped listening when the drummer left. They were never the same after that.

I still liked stuff like "Ignoreland" and think Monster was a decent album, but they were definitely releasing more crap than good after the Green album, some of it really embarrassing.

Can't stand "Everybody Hurts." Especially the video for it. I do like Night Swimming and Day Sleeper.

I can't believe that video beat out Sabotage by the Beastie Boys for video of the year.

For me, I was never much of an REM fan, but I didn't mind their work from the mid-80's to mid 90's.

They are putting out a double CD Greatest hits album it says here that includes Shiny Happy People and three New songs. Maybe they should get the Drummer back in to record on the new songs to make it official.
