REM

From underground to Cult band to the top Alternative band in North America, R.E.M, hit it big doing things their way.  That alone earned them their first year induction.

Inducted in 1997.  From Athens, Georgia, U.S.A.

Bill Berry (drums), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin, banjo), Mike Mills (bass), Michael Stipe (vocals)

Great band that probably should have stopped earlier than they did, their last couple of albums sounded exactly the same.
