From a church party in Athens, Georgia in 1980, R.E.M. quietly rewrote the rules of American alternative rock — threading jangly post-punk guitars through Murmur, Document, and Automatic for the People into a catalogue that shaped a generation's emotional vocabulary. Our quizzes cover everything from the band's murky early-80s origins and 90s breakthrough to deep album sequencing and the four faces behind the music. Fans are currently answering 74% of questions correctly — strong on the anthems, but the chronology and deep cuts are drawing blood, so step up and see where you land.
