"To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." 

Na 31 jaar (1980-2011) houd de groep R.E.M. het voor bekeken. Ze verlaten ons met een mooi repertoire, waaruit ik er alvast enkele heb uitgehaad. Met name "Everybody Hurts", "What's the frequency Kenneth", "Shinny Happy People", "Losing My Religion", "Man on the Moon", "Imitation of Life", "Nightswimming" en "Supernatural Superserious". (via R.E.M. met wikipedia en afbeelding)
