R.E.M.

R.E.M.

R.E.M. es una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia, EE. UU., pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior. En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens. Pronto se expanden por todo el estado y en 1982 publican un EP, "Chronic Town", con la discográfica I.R.S. Records. Combinando folk-rock y punk logran que la crítica les defina como auténticos innovadores de la música. Pronto su expansión se traduce a todo el país.

Letra de Ignoreland ( LP Version )
These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v. Them years
Wrecking all things virtuous and true
The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal
Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool

They hypnotized the summer, 1979
Marched into the capital
Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready, heartless and labeled
Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega-ultra power dosing
Relax. Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah

''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland
''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland

The information nation took their clues from all the soundbyte gluttons
1980, 84, 88, 92, too
How to be what you can be, jump jam junking your energies
How to walk in dignity with throw up on your shoes

They amplified the autumn, 1979
Calculate the capital
Up the republic, my skinny ass, T.V. tells a million lies
The paper's terrified to report anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon
I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this
So, fuck you man ''Fuck 'em''

''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland
''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland

If they weren't there, we would have created them
Maybe it is true
But I'm resentful all the same
Someone's got to take the blame

I know that this is vitriol
No solution, spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed, don't you?

They desecrate the winter, 1979
Capital collateral
Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready, heartless and labeled
Super U.S. citizen, super achiever, mega-ultra power dosing
Relax. Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah

''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland
''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland
''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
Ignoreland
''Yeah, yeah, yeah''
