1. Mumur is still my fave, but they ALL hold up damn well... |

2. Myself, I went with Automatic |
|
...just so listenable, as an album.
But dang it, Murmur is just so empirically good....

But I like all the old ones, where you couldn't understand a word Michael Stipe sang.

Not really an REM album, but is the one where all but Stipe backed up Warren Zevon on his 1987 comeback effort. I also like the Hindu Love Gods project they did together.
I voted for "Document" in the poll. :-)

6. Voted for Reckoning, but anything before Bill Berry left was great. |
|
Never would have thought the drummer was the mmost crucial member of that band, but apparently so.

7. New Adventures in Hi-Fi... |
|
Although I think AFTP is their best studio album, NAIHF was a great "off the cuff" production (recorded during REM's "Monster" tour in '95) and had such excellent tunes like New Test Leper, Undertow, E-Bow the Letter (With Patti Smith), Leave and Electrolyte...

I love that song and 'Departure'.
NAIHF was under appreciated by most fans, imho.

9. Murmur is what you're thinking of... |
|
:)
(I don't know how to vote. I love them all except for Monster and Automatic.)
Not liking AFTP is blasphemy, but I never really did. :shrug:

21. AFTP was produced by John Paul Jones (Of Led Zeppelin)... |
|
"The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight" has that big Zep sound, don't you think?

14. Voted for Life's Rich because no one else had & I still remember clearly |
|
the day that I first listened to it. I bought it, brought it home, locked the door and gave it my full 100% attention, dancing & listening. I loved it from the very first listen.
Let's begin again...
I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales, if I can, and I can..
They rock. All of their albums are like old friends to me.

Fly to carry each his burden We are young despite the years We are concerned, we are hope despite the times All of a sudden, these days, happy throngs Take this joy wherever, wherever you go.

they hit their peak under the old REM aesthetic with that one; after that, they started to go for the big-snare-sound, mershy thingie.
The funny thing is, they all hate that album.
