The beginning of the massive change in R.E.M.'s sound (and I am of the camp that that it was absolutely for the worst shouldn't need to be said, but it does), but very much still connected to the heart of what made them great in that early period. Whenever a band has a major shift in their sound and the first album is still very good, I call it "their Lifes Rich Pageant."

1986 was the Cocteaux peak year, and as you'll see below, I couldn't even acknowledge an important part of that on this chart.

Some rat bastard edited my list earlier to remove this album, probably because of what I said about it, and I'll say again - this is the placeholder for the Love's Easy Tears EP, which should be allowed to be included here, as are many other EPs. This is a great collection in its own right, and worth the price of admission for "Millemillenary," which is available nowhere else.
