I started relatively late when R.E.M. gained popularity in Europe with Green, Out
of Time and Automatic. Looking back I still enjoy Out of Time and Automatic
most, the first because it is so different, experimental, and lighthearted and just
somewhat "out of that time" and the second because of its epic, sad
and melancholic feel.
I also enjoy the older albums, but for me this is why R.E.M. has been a
cornerstone in my exploration of music over the past 20-30 years.
