The American rock band R.E.M. was formed in 1980 and hailed from Athens, Georgia and included singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. The band is considered one of the first popular alternative rock bands. Their first single was "Radio Free Europe" (in 1981) and later went on to produce its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love".
By the 1990s, alternative rock bands attracted a larger audience and the band's fame continued to grow, and R.E.M. released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992).

Name of Song: All The Way To Reno
Relevant Verse: All the way to Reno
Dusted the non-believers
And challenge the laws of chance
Now sweeter
You're so sugar sweet
You may as well have 'kick me'
Fastened on your sleeve
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star
Wing is written on your feet
Your Achilles heel
Is the tendency to dream
But you've know that from the beginning
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star
You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are
Humming
All the way to Reno
You've written your own directions
And whistles the rules have changed
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
Humming
All the way to Reno
All the way to Reno
All the way to Reno
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
