World Music Exploration - R.E.M.

And here I thought I would have a tough time choosing a pop/rock music selection for this week's entry. R.E.M. made it an easy decision for me. On September 21, 2011, the American band R.E.M. announced that they would be disbanding after 31 years of music collaboration.  The band formed in 1980 in Athens, GA and was comprised of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass) and Bill Berry (drums). The band is credited for having a profound influence on the development of alternative rock.
