RockyRaccoon Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I was more shocked at the announcement that, as of yesterday, they were still together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 A 3-sentence goodbye posted on their website? Seems like they should have made some more noise - they certainly earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow!And they could really turn it up I saw them in a bar about 20 years ago (amps turned up)You could hear the pickups humming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 A 3-sentence goodbye posted on their website? Seems like they should have made some more noise - they certainly earned it. There's a longer announcement with comments from all three members on their website (it got updated after the article I linked to was published) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I was more shocked at the announcement that, as of yesterday, they were still together. They released their latest album in March this year... I guess you haven't heard it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I thought they broke up awhile ago also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 A great band. thank you for the music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I woke up this morning and I still couldn't believe this actually happened. One of my favorite bands ever. I know most people will find this hyperbolic, but I kind of understand what it felt like when The Beatles broke up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Too bad, but at least they left on a good note and left us with a lot of great music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yeah, the last singles I remember listening to were from Automatic For The People Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Collapse into Now is a real fine album that gave me hope for more to come. REM back on the track, I hoped. Alas, it seems to stop here. However: there are so many rock 'n rollers with bad pension provisions ..... I foresee a comeback in about 5 years. Like Booker T, Steve Miller, Greg Allman and so many more did recently. Edited October 2, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
