I think Lifes Rich Pageant is the best album of the 1980s. I bought that one shortly after it came out and it was my introduction to R.E.M. But speaking of the wonderful early stuff, I thought Chronic Town was a phenomenal debut. I bought it about 1988 or 89 on cassette. I listened to the first song about ten times before I listened to the rest of it. It was absolutely hypnotic. I gave up buying their new stuff after I heard Losing My Religion on the radio. Something was missing there. I think their run from Chronic Town to Green is pretty hard to beat. I definitely felt they lost something after that. There's been great tracks and Automatic For the People is just as good as the first 6, but it just felt different. There's not a lot between them but if I had to, I'd rank the albums: Fables > Reckoning > Green > Pageant > Murmur > Document
