floydsu Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Since there's a lot of talk going around about the new R.E.M. material in Dublin, I thought I'd start of a discussion of their albums, best to worst. Anyone agree, disagree on the following list?

quarter23cd Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I was going to try doing this, but there are so many albums and I don't think I'm enough of a fanatic to be anal enough to rank them. With some exceptions, you can probably just list the albums chronologically and not be too far off in ranking them by awesomeness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SmokeUpJohnny Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I guess it's not an album, but the Chronic Town EP was always my fav. with Murmur, Reckoning and LRP close behind. I am a little surprised that ATFP is rated so highly by some. I guess I am just one of those early fans who was dissapointed when Green came out and they became just another radio band to me after that. I know it's a sorta typical early fan elitist view, but that's what happened. Edit_My bad, it was Document that made me bail and Green confirmed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Wow, Green is really that reviled? Maybe y'all are just still confused about the cover. "They cant' call it Green! The cover is orange!" That was about the time I got into them, so it has more sentimental value for me I guess. And don't be hatin' on Document, either! I'd make an actual list, but I'm not as up on all their albums as I should be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Lead pack1. Murmur2. Reckoning3. Fables of the Reconstruction4. Lifes Rich Pageant Chase #1 (a few minutes behind)5. Automatic for the People6. Document Chase #2 (several minutes behind)7. New Adventures in Hi-Fi8. Monster The Peloton (so far back that they're irrelevant, i.e., albums that don't interest me at all)9. - ?. (everything else) Note: If we're including Chronic Town, it'd be in the lead pack.
