Top 3 Songs: Harborcoat, Rockville (Don't Go Back To), Pretty Persuasion

My favorite album from my favorite band. This particular album doesn't produce many hits but I absolutely love it. It feels raw, new, and unpolished all the reasons I love early R.E.M.

Top 3 Songs: Lyin' Eyes, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Take It Easy
