R.E.M. are only known for Murmur or Automatic for the People, depending on who you ask.

Untitledis not an album and Tweez is not better.

REM's best selling album is Out of Time, which contains their biggest hit, Losing my religion.

Do you think anyone actually listens to that album for anything other than Losing My Religion?

of Montreal

godspeed you! black emperor

other than Shiny Happy People and Losing my religion, you mean

At the time Shiny Happy People was a very popular song too.
The whole album even if it's not their best it's still kinda good.

Half A World Away and Country Feedback are among their best post-IRS songs

Nirvana
Pearl Jam

Joy Division

Sweet Trip.

I prefer listening to Avery Island, but I also think ITAOTS is tighter and put together more thoughtfully.

Spiderland wasn't even that great an album. Christgau was the only critic that got it right.

I'll be honest, I only have "Velocity : Design : Comfort" and really only think it's okay

Deftones, Stone Temple Pilots
