A Listmania! list by J. Williams
(REAL NAME)   
 
Automatic For The People (U.S. Version)
1.  Automatic For The People (U.S. Version) by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘92) So much has already been said about this album, but I’m still taken aback by its grand scope. An astonishing accomplishment by anyone’s standards. I hear it sold a copy or two as well."

Life's Rich Pageant
2.  Life's Rich Pageant by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘86) Where the first three albums laid a path notable for its hidden treasures, ‘Pageant’ was REM laid bare. A bold statement of intent. They never sounded quite so muscular again."
£5.44   Used & New from: £1.98

New Adventures in Hi-Fi
3.  New Adventures in Hi-Fi by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘96) Indeed 65 minutes of new adventures - their longest album to date. A brilliant, eclectic collection of concert, soundcheck and studio material that ranks as perhaps their most ambitious work."
£4.66   Used & New from: £0.01

Up
4.  Up by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘98) Criminally underrated, this is the only vital REM album in the last 10 years. The timbre of Stipe’s voice is magical here. Proof that the most demanding music can be the most rewarding."
£4.66   Used & New from: £0.48

Murmur + 4
5.  Murmur + 4 by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘83) Over 20 yrs old, but as fresh as a daisy. Rock music rarely, if ever, displays great artistry. Yet, in its own understated way, ‘Murmur’ proved that a rock band could at least be a cut above."
£8.86   Used & New from: £3.24
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Out of Time
6.  Out of Time by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘91) If ‘Out of Time’ has the summer in its bones, it has a reassuringly dark underbelly.  And considering how young it is, it’s like an old friend who makes you laugh, cry and shake uncontrollably."
£5.86   Used & New from: £0.07

Green
7.  Green by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘88) An artistic and commercial breakthrough. Yet it wasn’t only a watershed for REM - this was the album that made me realise I was onto something special. Still wearing the ‘Hairshirt’, too."
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.31

The I.R.S. years Vintage 1984 - R.E.M
8.  The I.R.S. years Vintage 1984 - R.E.M by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘84) An album full of tenderness and longing. (‘So. Central Rain’ kicked off my love affair with REM). The roughness at the edges would translate into the internal tensions that followed soon after."
£9.31   Used & New from: £4.19

Fables Of The Reconstruction (The I.R.S. Years Vintage)
9.  Fables Of The Reconstruction (The I.R.S. Years Vintage) by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘85) Verily, the legacy of the American civil war and its attendant myths and legends cast a shadow over this dark, folkloric work. Bold, difficult, lovable. Treat yaself."
£6.37   Used & New from: £2.49

Document (Remastered)
10.  Document (Remastered) by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘87) The one I dance to whilst denouncing political hypocrisy in general and imperialism in particular. I know all the words, too. Well, you need a hobby, “slam butt neck, right? Right.”"
£4.85   Used & New from: £0.78

Reveal
11.  Reveal by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘01) Where ‘Up’ explored the depths, ‘Reveal’ takes to the air. Or tries to. I take umbrage at those who call it a ‘return to form’. The truth is, this is where REM began to lose their way."
£6.98   Used & New from: £0.01

Monster
12.  Monster by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘94) The ‘been there, done that’ album. An assault on the senses that includes some of their finest songs. Come to think of it, ‘Crush with Eyeliner’ at full volume is better than sex. Turn it up."
£6.84   Used & New from: £0.01

In Time: The Best of REM 1988 - 2003

Dead Letter Office + 2
14.  Dead Letter Office + 2 by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘87) Like stumbling into a junk shop and finding the bits and bobs that 'got lost in the post'. From the ridiculous to the sublime. Also includes the pathbreaking '82 e.p. ‘Chronic Town’."

Eponymous
15.  Eponymous by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "(‘88) Worth getting for the Hib-tone version of ‘Radio Free Europe’, a different vocal take on ‘Gardening at Night’, the ‘Mutual Drum Horn Mix’ of ‘Finest Worksong’, and the excellent ‘Romance’."
