R.E.M. calls it quits

[AM Matt]

As R.E.M. said "It's the end of R.E.M. as we know it (and I feel fine)". After 30 years of music. Go to: www.rollingstone.com for the story. Matt Clark Sanford, MI

There's a lot of buzz about this. I'm not much of a fan (two Mobile Fidelity CDs and the high-res DVD-Audio disc of their hits, none of which I listen to often), but they had a long and productive run that any band can be proud of.

Plus, they'll probably hook up several years down the road for the inevitable reunion tour circuit....

Yeah, they can join the oldies circuit right now for all I care, I think they fully qualify.

They haven't had a decent album in 20 years with GREEN (1988?) being the last good one. Of course I'm partial to their I.R.S. releases, which is where their career started.

Another friend of mine said the same thing about Green...

R.E.M. last great CD was "Automatic For The People" in 1992 which Rolling Stone magazine gave it 5 stars out of 5. Matt Clark Sanford, MI
