It's a sad day for rock n' roll. These guys will be missed.

Sad AND shocking! I'm on campus until 10 and I'm gonna make sure to spin (digitally) some Monster.
My big sister brought me to my first r.E.m show at Sheys Theater in 1985. They have been in my heart ever since and they always will be.
I was never a huge fan, but i've always liked REM. Never did get to see them live...
Spinning Fables tonight. Thanks for 30 years of great music.
Goddamn depressing.
And their most recent 2 albums were so fuckin good too.
This is one of those bands (like the Hip) that you just hope never, ever, ever stop making music.
R.E.M. - Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage
Just in time for the holiday shopping season (11/15) a 2-disk greatest hits set with 3 new songs.
