R.E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by
Michael Stipe (lead vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass
guitar), and Bill Berry (drums and percussion). R.E.M. was one of the
first popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to
Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.
R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the
independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic
Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the
band released its critically acclaimed debut album Murmur, and built its
reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant
touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground
success, R.E.M. entered the mainstream in 1987 with the hit song "The One
I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to
espouse political and environment
