 American musical group R.E.M. began achieving success in the 1980s, and by the end of the decade, had established themselves as more than just a cult rock band with major hits like “The One I Love” and “Shiny Happy People.” Once named “America’s Best Rock & Roll Band” by Rolling Stone, R.E.M. was founded in Athens, GA, in 1980, by lead vocalist Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck.
