R.E.M. fans are murmuring their disapproval. Too bad no one can hear them.

12-10

Vote to Eno. Murmur was good, but HCTWJ was more interesting.

Comparing these two albums is like comparing apples to oranges. So I took a different route:

Murmur is my favorite REM album (actually, I think it's the only REM album I like)

Here Come the Warm Jets is a good Eno album (what isn't??) but he did much better later one, particularly when collaborating with David Byrne.

Thus, I vote Murmur.

Murmur is a massive debut by a massive band.

Murmur. I really like both. But I like Murmur more.

The title track of 'Here Comes...' might be one of my favourite song of all time. I enjoy Murmur but eno took my vote

Eno's grown on me a LOT since I listened to this album on the old bracket to get ready for it vs FEFA.

That said, this one goes to REM.

Eno, no doubt at all. Actually a flawless album.

Both great albums. I prefer Automatic to Murmur though. Not that that should mean anything since I also prefer Another Green World to Here Come the Warm Jets, but all that early Eno work is spotless.

This is a little hard but right now Murmur is my favourite R.E.M. album so I voted for that (actually right now I'm not sure because I voted about an hour ago and I remember I had doubts 🤣 )

Well fuck. Murmur doesn't deserve this treatment. it's such a fantastic debut that really played a big role in the history of independent rock.

But Here Come The Warm Jets is my pick for a reason. It's one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. Completely original, highly influential, and I just love Eno's dark sense of humor.

Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter

Murmur has the edge. Eno would do much better afterwards. REM would never.

Not a fan of R.E.M.'s debut. Easy vote for Eno for me.
