Comments:
Especially
For You Smithereens
If Elvis started making music in the 80s, I always imagined it would be
similar to these guys.
Girlfriend Matthew
Sweet
Was in awe of his songwriting from the moment I
heard this album
2 X 4 Guadalcanal Diary
Much like the Beatles, can go from lighthearted
(Let the Big Wheel Roll) to emotional (3 a.m.). "3 a.m." should
be in everyone's collection.
Big Plan's For Everybody Let's
Active
Bought it way back when because Mitch Easter produced REM's early albums.
Fell in love with his familiar-yet-unique sound.
International Pop Overthrow
Material Issue
Nobody wrote better songs about girls.
Life's Rich Pageant
REM
I can't make a list without including these guys. This album showed the
pop potential realized with Document.
