{"title":"R.E.M.","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe rise of R.E.M. from cult heroes to superstars during the New Wave era proved that deserving, non-gimmicky American rock bands could still make it on their own terms. R.E.M.'s example of inspiration, hard work and self-belief served as a beacon that illuminated an alternative path for many musicians in the Eighties and Nineties. Without R.E.M., it's hard to imagine the alt-rock, indie-rock and college-rock movements of the last two decades. The patient, deliberate way in which R.E.M.'s career unfolded could serve as a textbook example on balancing art and commerce without compromise.

Having been a big R.E.M. fan since their 1983 debut (\"Radio Free Europe\"), and then watching their career unfold... not always in a direction I was thrilled about... I remember being totally astounded to hear this one. Not only was it a magnificent return to their roots musically, but it's a simply superior pop song. Nothing simple about it, but it sounds so simple! And consider this: \"Losing My Religion\" has no chorus. How do you make a pop song a hit that has no hummable chorus?  And yet on the strength of its music and lyrics-- totally legible, it's so right-on as a tale of fragile, vulnerable love. \"Religion\" went on to become the biggest chart hit of the group's career.  Deservedly so, and it anchored an album of similarly worthy note. As with most R.E.M. singles, the B side is a previously unreleased, non-LP cut. Dave Marsh included this single in his 1999 addendum to the original list of 1001 greatest singles, originally published in 1989.
