R.E.M.

Talk about college radio. REM
was the epitome of a college
radio success story. After
years of making great albums
throughout the 1980s, it
wasn’t until the early 1990s
did REM find mainstream
success. It was most
definitely the Losing My
Religion song that hit the
home run for them. Which is
strange because people always
talk about how conservative
America is and this song was
playing 24 hours a day back in
1990. Perhaps America has
become more conservative as
time marches on?

Wow. I was reading the
Wikipedia article on them and
the band started in Athens GA
back in 1980. And apparently
the signed a $80 million
contract with Warner Brother
which was one of the biggest
record deals in history (at
that time). Lol. I got to
laugh about that one. They
don’t seem like the type of
band that would signing
contracts at that level
monetary return. The funny
thing is they got signed in
1996 for that obscene amount,
which is pretty much when
their popularity started to
fade. I don’t know if that
is supposed to be joke on
Warner Brother or selling out
when no one is looking.

R.E.M. consisted of Michael
Stipe (lead singer), Peter
Buck (guitar), Mike Mills
(bass), and Bill Barry on
drums.

BTW, Green was a great album.
