^okay, so that was their debut album, one of out literally more than a dozen. how many others, pray tell, were classed as post-punk? you know how many bands completely change their genres early in the careers? i guess Katy Perry is Christian Rock, eh? that was what her debut album was, after all. so are you saying that we should all think of Katy Perry as a Christian Rock artist?
This topic doesnt argue that R.E.M. was a post punk band for their whole career

to me, it seems implied by the topic title and by the unfounded rebukes of my posts
Your argument was that R.E.M. wasnt anywhere close to anything related to punk

REM is post-punk dude.

Methinks you don't know what post-punk is.

I have never heard R.E.M. be described as post-punk until now. But then again I only know Radio Free Europe from their first album and it's probably my favorite one from them

Wikipedia also claims that Aerosmith is heavy metal so I'm not sure if you want to use that as a counter argument

Havent heard of em, but I dig the song more than most of REMs repertoire.

Everybody Hurts, and Man on the Moon are GOAT though, imo

dude saying stuff like "R.E.M. wasn't anywhere close to anything related to punk" shows you haven't got a clue about music

anyone with a basic knowledge of rock history would know that. who were their influences? proto-punk, punk, post-punk artists. who were their peers? all the iconic American underground/college rock/post punk bands of the 80s

You can't write the history of American post-punk without REM. Even bios of other post-punk bands make mention of them.

Hsker D and R.E.M. were the two American post-punk bands of the '80s that changed the direction of rock & roll. R.E.M. became a superstar band

https://www.allmusic.com/artist/minutemen-mn0000474482/biography

More than any other hardcore band, the Minutemen epitomized the free-thinking independent ideals that formed the core of punk/alternative music. Wildy eclectic and politically revolutionary, the Minutemen never stayed in one place too long; they moved from punk to free jazz to funk to folk at a blinding speed.... Like their peers Black Flag, Hsker D, R.E.M., Sonic Youth, and the Meat Puppets, the Minutemen built a large, dedicated cult following throughout the United States through their relentless touring.
