Description

R.E.M. is arguably one of today's most popular bands. Their string of top hits includes "Fall on Me," "The One I Love," "Stand," "Losing My Religion," "Drive," "Man on the Moon," and "What's the Frequency, Kenneth.". R.E.M.: From "Chronic Town" to "Monster" provides interesting details about this enigmatic yet potent musical force. Despite the constant intrusion of a voracious press, their aspirations are cloaked in mystery. Arch media manipulator, lead singer-lyricist Michael Stipe reveals the confusion and creative freedom provided by this media frenzy, which allows him and his band to present some of the most provocative music of recent times. As well as tracing the journey from the underground to the international stage, this book digs beneath the convenient stereotypes to portray Stipe and bandmates Bill Berry, Peter Buck, and Mike Mills as individuals and artists who each make important contributions to rock's most vital band.
