PORTLAND, Ore. \u2013 Born in 1956, Peter Buck<\/a><\/span><\/strong> graduated from Crestwood High School in Berkley California before moving to Athens Georgia where he would eventually meet Michael Stipe and form the iconic rock band R.E.M.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formed in 1980, R.E.M. ruled the airwaves and music television for decades because of their songs like 1991\u2019s Losing My Religion, a classic pop song about unrequited love, managed to connect with not just alternative music fans, but also soft rock fans as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the band’s heyday in the early 90\u2019s, R.E.M. produced many songs like Shiny Happy People that you could sing in your car and feel good about encouraging your friends to listen to, compared to early 90\u2019s alternative rock bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains that weren\u2019t as universally loved by music fans around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
