Subject: R.E.M. Album Poll
Written By: Absolutely Vile on 05/16/04 at 10:56 pm
My favourite would probably be Reckoning with Fables Of The Reconstruction and Murmur very close behind.

I don't care for REM, and the longer they stayed around, the less I liked them. I did like some of their songs:
South Central Rain (I'm Sorry)
Can't Get There From Here
Losing My Religion
Pretty Persuasion
Green Grow the Rushes
Exhuming McCarthy
Orange Crush
"It's the End of the World" was cool, until I just heard it too d@mn many times.
"Shiny Happy People" makes me want scratch my own eyes out.
Michael Stipe did a song with Anton Fier & The Golden Palominos, "Boy (Go)," which I liked a lot.
I chose "Murmur" for the album, but that was a mistake. I should have chosen "The Reckoning."

what, no 'eponymous'?
::) ok, ok, i guess it doesn't count as an original album on it's own, but it is one of the finest collections of my fav REM songs. from your list, i'd have to pick document or green. i can listen to both of those non-stop.

Murmur is probably my favorite, too.
Although Up is good too, but that was the nineties.

I agree. That song alone makes it my favorite. It is the most overlooked and underrated song in their catalogue. The song was a very minor hit, and is ignored because of the huge hit 'Stand' from the same album.
