R.E.M. Was mine as well. In high school in the late 70's south I was into the Allman'a' Skynard etc. Then I moved to ATL and heard Chronic Town. As far as I know I was the first in ATL to buy Murmer. They opened my ears to the amazing sounds in the music scene in ATL and Athens. Still listen to the old REM albums today.

OK...the iPod was on shuffle mode while I was preparing dinner and it happened to be kicking out a lot of early to mid period R.E.M. As I listened, I began to think that more than any other band, these guys really seemed to be the soundtrack to my coming of age, both on a musical and personal level. I realized that so many memorable and fun moments occurred while R.E.M. were blasting away in the background. Maybe it was the two glasses of wine I had ingested, but I suddenly realized that R.E.M were my Beatles, in that they seemed to encapsulate both everything I was experiencing at that time and everything I aspired to be.
If there is another younger band or artist that had a major impact on your life in a way that the Beatles impacted an earlier generation, what is it?
