The Official R.E.M. Thread

Life's Rich Pageant sounded good, much better than Document, I will listen more to this album!

 

It's an excellent album, yes.

 

I recommend Fables as well, though. It's a little more uneven, but the strong songs are as good as anything on Life's Rich Pageant...in my opinion.

I'm not a big fan, still I really like Automatic For The People & Reckoning. I don't like Document though...

 

Check out Murmur and Reckoning. Very accessible albums and pretty great material.

See i disagree. Fables is one of my least favorite albums from them (up to and including Monster). The songs just don't resonate with me as nearly as enjoyable as Lifes.

They kinda sound like the Beach Boys sometimes, but with more to them

No more evident than in “At my Most Beautiful” on Up.

REM are one of the greatest bands of any genre, of all time, ever!

 

I can't even pick one standout album, because in all honesty every album up til Monster is so close to perfection, if not ACTUALLY perfect, that they almost blur into one. I do really love Monster, Out Of Time, Murmur, all of them really...

 

Favourite song? Near Wild Heaven, The Great Beyond, Fall On Me and I LOVE Shiny Happy People.

 

Oh god...I can sense a mighty big marathon of their works on the horizon!

The greatest American band of all-time.

:P

 

 

Seriously though REM are big contenders for the title.
