They have split up.

I always liked them and was lucky enough to see them in concert a couple of times.

They haven't produced very much in the last few years anyway...

Many years ago I used to think of them as an irritating arty farty band (sorry!). As I got older I recognised them as being pretty decent actually!

Always found their albums contained a lot of fillers, sad to see them go all the same.

That's a shame I always quite liked them They have turned out some decent tunes..

Same here.

I first heard them back in the late '80's but didn't like them much.
Will listen to them a lot more now.

'Radio Free Europe' and 'It's the End of the World' are for me, their best two singles.

Saw them at Milton Kenes during their 'Monster' tour and they were awsome. Supported ny The Cranberries, Radiohead and Feeder..... those were the days

I've thought that Michael Stipe looks only minutes away from death for years....

Saw them at Glastonbury a few years back and was really impressed, wouldn't really class myself as a fan until then.

Shame they are splitting up as I would have liked to see them live again but the did seem to be running out of ideas musically perhaps
