The albums "Out of Time" (1991) and "Automatic for the People" (1992), released 19 months apart, cemented R.E.M. as America's most important band. "Automatic for the People" is considered the band's best work, if not one of the best moments of the rock era.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and multiple GRAMMY® Award winners, R.E.M. is one of the most revered bands to emerge from the American underground. Vocalist Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry co-founded college rock during the post-punk scene of the '80s.
