Automatic For The People for me.

Probably their most complete album IMO. Beautiful & laid back.

[Music Head]

If we can Find The River, we can do a little Nightswimming, but Try Not To Breathe going under, because the last time, Monty Got A Raw Deal after discussing the Man On The Moon, then going to Ignoreland when the advice I gave him led him to Drive to where The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite , and we all know that Everybody Hurts and Sweetness Follows when New Orleans Instrumental No, 1 plays in the background, and you know it will Star Me Kitten.

Although I chose Automatic For The People for obvious reasons, Leaving New York on Around The Sun is an amazing song. So good.

[Thraak]

Although I am not the biggest R.E.M. fan I voted New Adventures In Hi-Fi- such an amazing album! I never get sick of it! I also think 'How The West Was Won..' is their best song. Other albums which deserve a mention are Monster & Around The Sun.

Automatic For the People is my favorite album although I could live if I never heard 'Everybody Hurts' again..........

I also never get tired of this album but I think 'The Letter E-bow' is my favorite.

i went with monster, i really thought it sounded different, compared to other REM albums.

It's interesting to hear you say that as 'Monster' is an REM album I've never really liked!
