Never got into them, but i saw them at my first Galstonbury and had a great time.

Expect the morons to buy their albums by the armful Winehouse style :roll:

The only danger if that comes to pass, is that Bono then decides to run for Pope or Chairman of the UN. See how sometimes things could get actually worse?

A former nazi who passively condones paedophilia or Bono as the Pope?

gooseberry fool, Cal's right! :shock:

I think its just the IRS albums that are available as deluxe, the deluxe version of murmur is just superb.

Me too. It was the first REM song I heard I think - in about 1991 when our family got its first CD player (and a load of random albums including Out Of Time and Faith No More's The Real Thing).

REM were a brilliant band that covered pretty much all the bases musically over the years. Records like UP (1998) and Reveal (2001) are underrated gems. Last but one Accelerate (2008) is a brilliant rock record as well. That is just the lesser known modern stuff and their older back catalogue is probably the best of any band of their generation.

For me I respect they way they are ending things: it's all very REM.
