Loved them since I heard ‘Driver 8’ as a kid.

I’ve never come across an REM album without at least 2 or 3 gems on it.

Their first two albums, Murmur and Reckoning, really showcased Stipe's vocals and Buck's guitar and created an interesting new sound. Rock but with a twist of folk, even new wave and a little country. Eclectic to say the least.

Classic band, Stipe is just the man for sure.
