Rem Discography — Blogspot
Since Blogspot is a platform for user-generated content (not an official database), this outline focuses on how to find, navigate, and discuss R.E.M.’s catalog through that lens.
R.E.M.'s discography evolved from 1980s "jangle drone" to experimental later works, marking them as a defining American indie band. Key eras include their IRS records, the massive success of "Out of Time" and "Automatic for the People," and the experimental post-Bill Berry period. Detailed discussions of the band's discography, covering albums like "Reconstruction of the Fables," are available via When You Motor Away .

- The Unplugged Sessions (1991 & 2001): The 1991 session (featuring a stunning "Half a World Away") is superior to the 2001 session. Look for the FLAC rips.
- Hindu Love Gods (1990): R.E.M. minus Michael Stipe, plus Warren Zevon. Their cover of "Prince of Darkness" is legendary.
- The BBC Sessions: Pre-Murmur recordings where Stipe sounds like he is singing from inside a well. Essential.
- The "Bingo Hand Job" Pseudonym: When they played secret shows in London as a fake country band. Bootlegs of these shows circulate on old Blogspot links.
