R.E.M
This Athens, Georgia rock band came together in 1980. For their first few years REM
was the quintessential college radio band, releasing high-quality, low-selling music
and establishing a strong local following while their name slowing spread. Their popularity
at home helped scored them an early victory, opening for the Police in Atlanta.
REM's 1983 single "Radio Free Europe" is well known now, but it was not a huge sell at the time.
The members of the band took some time to experiment with other projects before their first hit
came - "Fall On Me" reached number 94 on the charts in 1986, and while it was not enough to make
them house-hold names it did help move them from college radio to commercial stations.
