R.E.M. ,when they pack it all in will leave behind an immensely wonderful body of work. Up to and including Hi Fi the albums were outstanding and even the last few have had some great songs on them. They do miss Bill's input a lot though. He was so much more than a drummer for them. For example,without Berry there would have been no Nightswimming.

this thread makes me realize one thing....REM is definitely the shit!
and how cool is it that the wedding reception gig Michael, Peter, Mike and Bill did last year was for Son Volt's first guitar tech?

Damn, I have not heard of almost all of the songs mentioned.
Is 'Man on The Moon' a lame Top 40 response?

Life and How to Live it.
Think I like it best because of the concert banter that came with the song.
