Day Five: R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People

Heralded as one of the best selling music artists of all time, R.E.M. had a bit of a shaky start in the 80s but would find success as early as their first single, Radio Free Europe and go on into the 90s as a pioneer of the genre that was starting to be taken more seriously and released two of their best selling albums during that time - Out of Time, and Automatic for the People. This user has some measure of love and respect for the band beyond their obvious success, in that R.E.M. saw a considerable chunk of their early history helped by North Carolina (which is where this user comes from). Along with The B-52s, R.E.M. would go on to massive success before peacably splitting in 2011. Kate Pearson would lend her vocal talents to R.E.M., particularly in this little gem of a song.
