New Adventures In Hi-Fi
Up
Around The Sun
But I'm not even sure about that - they've just been too consistently good. There are at least ten albums in my top five .

At this exact moment:
New Adventures in Hi Fi
Murmur
Monster
Reckoning
Green
Liable to change before the end of this sentence. Reveal and Around the Sun are the least likely to get into my top five, but the rest all have a fair chance depending on my mood.

Roughly... I think... for now.

Green
Fables of The Reconstruction
Reckoning
After "Green" I lost interest I'm afraid.
You're a bad man, that's an impossible question. I've deliberately not read anyone else's replies so as not to colour my own thoughts...

4. Reckoning
3. Life's Rich Pageant
2. New Adventures In Hi-Fi
1. Monster
Automatic for the People and Murmur just missing out. On a different day it would probably be a different five and a different order.
Absolutely one of my all-time favourite bands. They went a bit downhill in the later years (Reveal and Around The Sun are mostly forgettable although there are a couple of tracks on Accelerate that I think are fantastic: Living Well Is The Best Revenge in particular). Big influence on me musically although I always wanted to be Mike Mills rather than Peter Buck. I try to play bass like Mike, although weirdly there's very few REM songs I've actually bothered to learn---stylistic aping rather than actually working out what he does.
Yes you really must. Leave, Undertow, So Fast So numb, E-bow the Letter - some of my fav REM songs right there.

I have to to say other than that track I found it rather dull, I was very disappointed.

I love that song.
I'd raise the stakes with a call for top five songs, but it's tough enough ranking the albums.
Superb live.

Werchter festival 1999- they did The One I Love as a thunderstorm approached.
Stipe bellows out 'Fii-re....' and a bolt of lighting goes down behind the stage.
I was like 'OwwwKay...he's god.'

I could just just as easily have made my top five Fables Of The Reconstruction, Green, Automatic For The People, Monster and Accelerate.
