My list would look an awful lot like this, maybe swapping Reckoning w LRP, but otherwise very similar.

I'm a big Around the Sun defender. It doesn't really sound like an REM album but there's a lot of good stuff on there.
Are we doing lists now? I always find it so hard to rank their albums but here's my best shot.

so i went to this last night:
and man, it was a LOT of fun. if you are in a position to go you really should. band was good and while they stayed true to the songs they added their own bits to some of them like an extended outro to perfect circle. michael shannon is no michael stipe vocally but he very clearly loved getting into and performing these songs. definitely weird seeing zod singing old r.e.m. songs (and true to form he refused to play superman). country feedback was my highlight- wholly unexpected. the last part of the show they were totally winging it- crowd was into it so they just kept playing, ended up being close to 2 1/2 hours. looks like we got a good chunk of reckoning, which i guess they are playing on two-night stands, as a result.

Flash Sale on Bloomsbury Canada this week, so 30% off with a free shipping threshold of $40. Three 33 1/3 books is $46, so I ordered R.E.M., CAN and Devo!
So, since i just stumbled over that searching for the Vic Chesnutt Tiny desk concert, i decided to post this here cause this seems ( unfortunatekly ) not be widely known. It´s a nice duet Michael Stipe did with Vc Chesnutt did for the soundtrack to Wim Wenders movie " the end of violence", which unfortunately never got a vinyl issue. But i absolutely love this song
