[SEP] R.E.M. was an American rock band that formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by lead singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.  One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Stipe's particular vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, and Mills' melodic basslines and backing 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 group 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. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love".  The group signed to Warner Bros.  Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.
