1991 - R.E.M. - Out of Time 30 Rock
-
- História da música
When we think back 30 years ago to 1991, we think about the alternative revolution driven by bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
But there was one band who paved the way for the subsequent music industry shake up, and when they crashed through to the mainstream in early '91, it wasn’t off the back of a Marshall stack… it was a song that was driven by a mandolin.
R.E.M. were the darlings of US college radio in the 80's and when they released their major label debut 'Green' in 1989 everything changed. That album went platinum but the subsequent world tour left the band exhausted and after some downtime the Athens four piece retreated to the studio to write and record 'Out of Time', the album that would propel R.E.M. into the mainstream.
30 Rock is a Bridge Media production. It's hosted by Liam Renton and resident rock historian Justin Rouillon.
