Formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry, the band was pivotal in the development of the alternative rock genre.[1] Their musical style inspired many other alternative rock bands and musicians, and the band became one of the first alternative rock acts to experience breakthrough commercial success.[1] R.E.M. have sold more than ninety million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.[2]
