Weird choosing Green from R.E.M.

Much better: Murmur, Reckoning, Life's Rich Pageant, Fables of the Reconstruction, Automatic for the People.

You think that's bad? He chose combat rock over Self-titled, Give 'Em Enough Rope, and London Calling. That should be a federal offense.

Good call.

Or better yet leave them off the list entirely.

A friend of a friend recorded Peter Bucks 1st solo album (think it's only available on vinyl) recently. It's pretty damn good and not even a tiny bit like anything REM has ever done.

WRONG! Green is their pinnacle.

You might be right b_b. Of course any respectable list would have UP in there somewhere.

Try this on:

Automatic Green Up Document Monster Murmur Out of Time

The rest can suck it.
