REM released its ninth album “Monster” on this day exactly 20 years ago which featured the singles “Whats The Frequency Kenneth”, “Bang and Blame” ,”Strange Currencies”, Crush With Eyeliner” and “Tongue” One of the band rockiest albums with the Alt-Rock guitar sound and with not so much of Peter Buck’s traditional jangly guitar sound but a more distorted style with influences to the Bowie and T.Rex Glam rock sound. Released to good reviews and significant mainstream success and a series of great singles , the band were definately a foundation for the way we think of indie music, influencing artists that would be big in the 1990’s. With one of their best songs included the heartbreaking “Let Me In” . the guitarless with the girl type vocals of “Tongue” and one of their best all time ever singles “Kenneth”
