- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the band R.E.M. R.E.M., one of the most critically honored rock bands in America, has its roots deep in the red Georgia clay. The group's rise from the college rock scene to international fame was long and steady. Formed in Athens in 1980, R.E.M. has become one of the most commercially successful of the 1980s alternative rock bands. Despite this success the band has maintained a reputation for hard work and an independent, no-compromise approach to their music.
