R.E.M.
Comment:
Not only did R.E.M. come to define “alternative” rock for an entire generation; they shook off that somewhat limiting label and somehow managed the miraculous feat of ascending to stadium status without losing an ounce of their cool cachet. The group began life as a scrappy bunch of arty Athens kids whose heads were turned around by punk, but with a combination of try-anything fearlessness, musical might, and songwriting smarts, they became one of the biggest, most beloved bands in the land. Summing up the three-decade journey of these Georgia giants is no snap, but we’ve delved deep into everything from the innocent jangle of early-’80s college-rock classics, like “Gardening At Night,” to mainstream monster hits, like “Losing My Religion” and the slow-burning, sympathetic strains of MTV staple “Everybody Hurts,” in addition to covering the more exotic corners of the catalog, all to bring you the ultimate R.E.M. anthology.
