"Wolves, Lower" is one of my favorite songs too, Rob.
The five (in order) R.E.M. albums every music lover should own:
Reckoning
Chronic Town ep
Lifes Rich Pageant
Fables of the Reconstruction
Murmur
Those five are all pretty equal in how great they are. Oh, and atsonicpark is a tosser.
I bought Fables first, then Murmur, then Reckoning, and then Lifes Rich Pageant came out...they were all haha cassettes...
It doesn't get much cooler than the When the Light is Mind dvd though. Some cool stuff was left out, but plenty of cool stuff is included to more than make up for it.

Along with Green, Automatic For The People is the only current WB-era one that I can strongly recommend. I don't have a whole lot of appreciation for Out of Time which has about three good songs. OoT was the first "alternative" mega-hit album in history, by the way. Nirvana's Nevermind would follow over half a year later. I thought I was going to be sick the first time I heard "Endgame," for instance. In short, R.E.M. broke through the college radio underground into the mainstream by LRP ('86) and then also conquered the mainstream
first with OoT ('91). Although, I do have the studio boot from Out of Time, Time of Outtakes, so I must like it a little...and several live shows from the tour and the first Unplugged too which features several OoT songs.
