Useless Clatter...R.E.M. Calls It Quits

Unfortunately its true, after 31 years, legendary rockers R.E.M. officially disbanded today via a post on their website. Here's a quick stint of what was said-
 "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." R.E.M.
More can be heard from each of the members at their website-                                           http://remhq.com/news_story.php?id=1446

Members of the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame, R.E.M. definitely made their mark on the rock scene. To many, they are cited as the ones who developed rock into "alternative" defining themselves amongst New Wave and Post-Punk counterparts of the '80s. In total R.E.M released 15 albums, most recently "Collapse Into Now" (2011) and have won 3 Grammy Awards.
