Remembering R.E.M (1980-2011)

The band during their early days in 1980's
With profound grief I write that the veteran american alternative band R.E.M has called it a day , The news regarding the disbandment appeared on the band's official site on 21st september 2011 and instantly broke many hearts across the world ,The band originally consisting of lead singer michael stipe , peter buck , mike mills and bill berry had a successful career spanning 30 long years , thats right 30 long years The band acted as an inspiration to many modern era bands like Radiohead , Nirvana , pavement etc . The band released 15 studio albums during its time span , however they are most remembered for their studio records Out of time ( 1991 ) and Automatic for the people ( 1992 )
Alas , all good things come to an end eventually , We hope the band continues to inspire many future artists like always , and Michael stipe to be remembered throughout his lifetime for the invaluable contribution to the alternative arena.
Here are few tracks to sulk on :|
