| 1. | ![Murmur [Deluxe Edition]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Yu1O8IJsL._SL160_.jpg) | Murmur [Deluxe Edition] by r.e.m. Price: $23.99 Customer Review:  Excellent value for what is included! Wanted a live version of Harborcoat for a long time! |

| 2. |  | Accelerate by R.E.M. Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  Accelerate can be one of those albums which fans, upset with R.E.M.'s last few releases, may judge too highly, throwing out words like comeback just to describe a vague adult-rock, easy going consistency in a way which almost insults some of their finer intricacies. |

| 3. |  | In Time: The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003 by R.E.M. Price: $9.99 Customer Review: You might be a bit confused by the above title. Well, let me explain. If this were a studio album of all new songs, it would be hands-down one of the best albums ever made. I'd be telling you to run out in a frantic state and knock over old ladies to get it. However, this is a greatest hits album,... |

| 4. |  | Automatic for the People by R.E.M. Price: $12.99 Customer Review: This is by no means a classic, not for REM or in pop history. There's nothing all that special here and Everybody Hurts starts to get on my nerves after a few listens. I think the fashionable people were a little too eager to jump on the 'serious' and politically correct bandwagon of the alternative... |

| 5. |  | Murmur by R.E.M. Price: $8.49 Customer Review: Along with The B-52's, Athens Georgia had a second classic debut to foist onto the world in the 80's. "Murmur" delivered a fully formed R.E.M. sound to an unsuspecting public, heard by musical cossnoti and launching thousands of new bands in their wake. Propelled by the jangle-pop of "Radio Free... |

| 6. |  | Out of Time by R.E.M. Price: $12.99 Customer Review:  The first voice you hear on R.E.M.'s second album for Warner Brothers wasn't even a member of the band. Rapper KRS-1 asks a question about what's on the radio before Michael Stipe intones "The world is collapsing around our ears." If that didn't give you notice that something was up in the R.E.M.... |

| 7. |  | And I Feel Fine...: The Best of the I.R.S. Years 1982-1987 by R.E.M. Customer Review: I noticed all the complaints on sound. So my 5-star rating is really for an import, "The Best of R.E.M." With 16 songs the songlist is representative of R.E.M.'s early years, though there are no rarities on it. It starts with "Chronic Town," then proceeds with 3 songs from each album chronologically... |

| 8. |  | Green by R.E.M. Price: $6.97 Customer Review: Warner Brothers took home the trophy when R.E.M. reached the end of their IRS contract, and before "Green" was even released, the murmurs of "sell-out" began. Oddly enough, the band had been consistently slouching towards the mainstream since "Radio Free Europe" first snuck onto college radio... |

| 9. |  | Reckoning by R.E.M. Price: $8.49 Customer Review: Compared to the murky, modern sound of Murmur, this, R.E.M.'s second album, was a more straight-forward approach, something of a folk rock album with its jangly guitar-driven sound. Just as with Murmur, the lyrics draw repeated listening to fathom their meaning, as with "7 Chinese Brothers"... |

| 10. |  | Lifes Rich Pageant by R.E.M. Price: $8.97 Customer Review: Like a lot of music fans, I have turned completely back to vinyl, and the versions of this GREAT album that I have found are all messed up. I want Rhino to get the rights from IRS to allow them to do a great 180g pressing as they have done for some other great '80's records, with the fantastic... |

| 11. |  | Document by R.E.M. Price: $8.49 Customer Review: R.E.M. ended their tenure at IRS Records with their second 5-star album, "Document." Having flirted with mainstream production with Don Geham on Lifes Rich Pageant, the switch to producer Scott Litt kept the smoother, more arena ready sound, but brought back some of the band's trademark atmosphere.... |

| 12. |  | Monster by R.E.M. Price: $6.97 Customer Review: R.E.M. used to be a band that shunned spotlights in an almost perverse fashion, to the point that they refused to even show themselves in their videos. Yet after the successful trilogy of albums Green, Out of Time and Automatic for the People, they'd become one of the biggest rock bands in the... |

| 13. |  | Fables of the Reconstruction by R.E.M. Price: $8.97 Customer Review: Another original, incredible sound from R.E.M. (the Amazon review sums it up best). The album's songs on the whole evoke a certain longing, as fables told of the South, of a journey toward a destination a long ways away in "Driver 8," or of people like the dog catcher in "Old Man Kensey," or of the... |

| 14. |  | Eponymous by R.E.M. Price: $10.97 Customer Review: R.E.M.'s music is among the most influential of all-time. Their hits like 'Orange Crush' and 'Losing My Religion' still get played on FM radio stations everyday. But, unfortunately, their early years are overlooked for their more famous Warner Bros. recordings. And that's a real shame, because... |

| 15. |  | Dead Letter Office by R.E.M. Price: $8.49 Customer Review: The main reason to get this CD was to pick up the long out-of-print "Chronic Town" EP. It was the first time R.E.M. found focus and made a studio album (released on the old IRS label in 1982). Their signature sound had already taken root, with Michael Stipe's mumbled vocals and Peter Buck's jangley... |

| 16. |  | The Best of College Football Fight Songs from Sheridan Square Price: $7.98 Customer Review: This CD is one of the better ones for fight songs. They sound like you'd hear them on game day. Another CD by the Univ of Michigan band has a concert band sound instead of marching band sound, so I like this one better. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars for me is a few missing songs, and... |

| 17. |  | Up by R.E.M. Price: $9.99 Customer Review: R.E.M. were never a band to rest on their laurels. From the mega-hit change-up that gave them the multi-platinum Out of Time to the fuzz-blast of Monster, you could sit a pair of R.E.M. albums on a side-by-side test and (minus Michael Stipe's idiosyncratic voice) never guess it was the same group.... |

| 18. |  | Around the Sun by R.E.M. Price: $14.99 Customer Review: "Around the Sun" is, like the recent "Reveal" and older albums like "Out of Time", a soft melodic album, with an overall acoustic atmosphere. The opening track and big hit "Leaving New York" is the perfect opener and obviously one of the stand-outs, but the high standards continues throughout the... |

| 19. |  | New Adventures in Hi-Fi by R.E.M. Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Like its predecessor "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" is generally raw album with a lot of distorted guitars. It's fine to change approach from time to time, though in the case of R.E:M. I must admit I prefer their softer side. The album starts off fine with one of the album's finest tracks "How the... |

| 20. |  | Reveal by R.E.M. Price: $8.99 Customer Review:  2 1/2 Its R.E.M. at their middle of road most. And believe me, they have walked further down the road, so here the mediocrity tends to at least produce minor results. Heck there's even a song or two that actually matter. |
