REM had videos of Perfect Circle and even earlier stuff.

Also, for some reason I didn't realize that REM was popular enough to have a video in 1988 (the copyright date for the video of Stand I just saw). I remember friends having bootlegs of REM and Indigo Girls in 1989. Perhaps they weren't available in my small town.
88/89 was when they switched to a major label. I think I owned a videotape of REM videos in 1989 (which is the year I saw them in one of the bigger venues in town).
But bands didn't need to be big to have videos, else 120 Minutes would have been mostly static and the occasional bit of Early Depeche Mode.

Now I can't get "Horse with no Name" out of my head.

Now you're talking my kinda music. Sigh. The good old days when MTV actually showed videos.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I remember "The One I Love" being all over top 40 radio (or whatever passed for it then) somewhere in '86-'88.

I have discovered that it is impossible for me to type "Rosecrans Ave." correctly on the first try. It will always be Rosencrantz, with me wondering where Guildenstern went.

'87, I think.
(I had cable, and was the one who taped videos for people without cable from 1986-1990. If my brother didn't suck, I'd still have the archives. Sadly, he does, and they were destroyed.)

Our college graduating class of '88 theme song was "It's the End of the World As We Know It," so REM was definitely popular before then, especially on college radio. I used to get them confused with OMD, actually.
