Background notes

Archive material and source history

R.E.M. formed in Athens, Georgia, with Michael Stipe on vocals, Peter Buck on guitar, Mike Mills on bass, and Bill Berry on drums. Their early albums like Murmur and Fables of the Reconstruction established a sound built around jangly guitars and Stipe's often cryptic lyrics. They worked through the 1980s with records like Document and Green before reaching a wider audience.

In 1991, the song 'Losing My Religion' from Out of Time became a massive hit, its video adding to its cultural presence. The band followed with Automatic for the People and Monster. Drummer Bill Berry left the group in 1997 due to health issues, and R.E.M. continued as a trio, releasing albums like Up and Accelerate before disbanding in 2011.

Their catalog includes songs like 'Near Wild Heaven' and 'Begin The Begin'. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
