REM songs list with name of song, release album and producer names, check list of songs recorded by R.E.M American Rock Band. Rapid Eye Movement was formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980. The band consisted of lead vocalist Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry (who retired from the band in 1997). R.E.M. is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of alternative rock and achieved significant commercial success and critical acclaim throughout their career.
R.E.M’s early work was characterized by jangly guitar riffs, introspective lyrics, and Stipe’s distinctive vocal style. They gained attention with their first major-label album, “Murmur” (1983), which received critical acclaim and established their signature sound. The band went on to release several successful albums, including “Reckoning” (1984), “Document” (1987), “Out of Time” (1991), and “Automatic for the People” (1992).
During the 1990s, R.E.M. achieved mainstream success with hit singles like “Losing My Religion,” “Everybody Hurts,” and “Man on the Moon.” Their music often addressed social and political issues, and their introspective lyrics resonated with a wide audience. R.E.M. was known for their melodic hooks, catchy choruses, and Stipe’s enigmatic and sometimes cryptic songwriting.
