R.E.M.

The territory south of the Mason-Dixon Line has always been musically fertile.

The R.E.M. singer says he's currently "writing the final lyrics" for his long-delayed debut solo album.

These '80s rock bands from the 'me' decade certainly had something for lots of you.

Nearly four decades after it was released, the singer reveals some of the song's garbled words.

All four members of the band appeared onstage at a hometown show.

Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry performed one song at awards ceremony.

Set includes a previously unreleased live show from 1999.

Guitarist doubts he played 'Batman' theme properly and can’t forget how embarrassing early R.E.M. concerts could be.

Guitarist says “non-musical stuff” became too distracting and the band quit at the right moment.

Reissue of debut EP has him thinking about beginnings – and endings.

'Automatic for the People' further cemented the band's status as alt-rock visionaries and superstars.
