"As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band,” the band posted on remhq.com. “We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening."

For the past three decades, R.E.M. helped define "college rock," "alternative rock," "indie rock," or whatever your preferred nomenclature was. As they moved from the underground into the mainstream, they sold millions and millions of albums and influenced a generation of musicians. Their last album was this year's Collapse Into Now.
