R.E.M. are my favorite band. When the news broke, I was at the Ynott awards in Prague and my FB and phone nearly blew up.
They are rather simply the soundtrack to my life. One of their songs played its part in saving my life as a teenager. This is a sad thing to have happen to me. I have a hard time thinking of there not being an R.E.M.
However, I appreciate that they went out on a really strong album because even those of us that love them will admit they hadn't had such a solid album in a LONG time. So, when they did do it, why not make sure the start and end of your journey together as a band is flanked by great songs.
