R.E.M.
R.E.M. is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia in 1980 by Bill Berry (drums), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass guitar), and Michael Stipe (vocals). R.E.M. was one of the first popular alternative rock bands, and gained early attention due to Buck's "jangly" guitar style and Stipe's cryptic vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe" in 1981 on 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 critically-acclaimed 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." They signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to adopt broad political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide. By the early 1990s, R.E.M. were viewed as pioneers of alternative rock and released their most successful albums, the multi-million-selling Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M. released Monster, which was a return to a more rock-oriented sound, in 1994 and began its first tour in six years. However the tour was marred by a number of difficulties. In 1997, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a then-record $80 million. The following year, Bill Berry amicably left the band, with Buck, Mills, and Stipe continuing as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. R.E.M. Mp3 DownloadsDownload audio files (mp3 and wma) with R.E.M. Songs using these download websites.

R.E.M. in the news
Marc Jacobs' ad campaigns routinely feature the fashion guru's fabulous famous friends. Stylus Magazine explores the dank record library of a college radio station, finding out what DJs and students thought of classic 1980s underground albums when they first debuted by studying the notes they left on the album cover stickers. Covers The Smiths, The Pixies, R.E.M., Husker Du, The Cure, and more. Very interesting and very funny. Great write-up of the Olympia Theater sessions currently underway in Dublin.
