500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 113 R.E.M. - Document

 

                                                         'Fire on the hemisphere below...'

I've been listening to this a bot recently. Particularly Finest Worksong which sounds more and more monumental and other worldly every time I hear it. Bruce Springsteen or U2 never did anything like this.It's an Art statement. It shows you how extraordinary R.E.M. could be. Even as their star rose. There are any number of fantastic, magical moments elsewhere. They stuck to their principles and I still find them incredibly inspiring and think of them as 'my band'.
