Throwback Thursday: R.E.M. (Post IRS)
Back in September, we covered R.E.M. in their IRS years, due to the fact that the Best Of came out at this time. It is time to revisit, as they were recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
After their stint with IRS, R.E.M. moved to a major label and took the momentum from Document to launch themselves on the road to glory. Already having a large following on college campuses and some air play from a few singles, they took over the alternative scene with the uber-catchy, radio friendly, yet still socially conscious Green. They continued with stellar albums (Out of Time, Automatic for the People), while trying new things (Is that Peter Buck playing a mandolin? Michael is bald?). The rocking Monster and the tour that accompanied it saw the end of R.E.M. as we knew it. Bill Berry almost died on tour and then left the band. New Adventures in Hi-Fi, recorded on tour and a pretty good album, kept it going, but it seemed the flame dwindled after that. While Up, Reveal, and Around the Sun have their moments, they lack the flavor of the days with IRS and the glory of the first few WB albums.
That being said, they will always be one of the most influential bands in college-rock, the indie scene, alternative, whatever you called it (I personally went through all three) and are now enshrined forever as a hall-of-fame band.

You guys are always great and I especially like Throwback Thursday (hey, I'm 48 so I dig the old stuff; sue me).
And it's great that your links in the September post are still live.
Thanks so much.
BTW - where did Love is All Around come from? And isn't it sad that the photo you posted is only 3 guys? Someone is missing ... and missed.
I think Radio Song is a bad link. I keep getting "The input media format is invalid" on my puter. Thanks.
"Radio Song" works for me.
hmmm, ive d/l it twice with the same result. oh well, i guess i'll live :). thanks for this great post.
Awesome! I've been listening to a lot of REM lately, and I'm wondering why I shelved them for so long! Especially any band that collabs with KRS-One (who is still making albums). I was actually thinking about posting about how sweet REM is, but you guys beat me to it! Even more awesome is the fact that you're running full speed again. Glad to see the dynamic duo back together!
Love is All Around is off of the Radio Song EP CD and I believe recorded from Unplugged
Awesome post- what else is new? ;) Thanks very much, as always!
If it came from the "Radio Song" EP, "Love Is All Around" is from the 4/1/91 Rockline session.
