With R.E.M. calling it quits recently, I’d feel remiss if I didn’t recap my favorite moments of one of the most important American rock bands in history. I chose MTV Unplugged clips, for the most part, because they are rarely seen despite being one of the show’s finest performances. The top four could really go in any order but Document gets the top spot for being stellar from top to bottom.
R.E.M. – Document (I.R.S.) 1987
R.E.M. – Life’s Rich Pageant (I.R.S.) 1986
R.E.M. – Automatic For The People (Warner Bros.) 1982
R.E.M. – Murmur (I.R.S.) 1983
R.E.M. – Monster (Warner Bros.) 1994
R.E.M. – Green (Warner Bros.) 1988
R.E.M. – New Adventures In Hi-Fi (Warner Bros.) 1996
R.E.M. – Out Of Time (Warner Bros.) 1991
R.E.M. – Accelerate (Warner Bros.) 2008
R.E.M. – Collapse Into Now (Warner Bros.) 2011
