#197 - R.E.M. - Murmur
I actually pulled another R.E.M. album (And I feel fine) out of the five bucks box at a show a while ago. I bought it because I liked two of their songs, both which are not on Murmur, but still.First I thought they were neither good nor bad, but I find myself liking them more and more.
Murmur is R.E.M.s debut album and I find they have been keeping true to their style up till now. You hear an R.E.M. song and you know from the first few seconds it’s them. It’s great if a band can have such a distinctive sound.
I liked the album a lot. Favorite song would be Perfect Circle.
#140 - Blondie - Parallel Lines
I bought this one a while ago, too. I really didn’t know what to expect from it because I think Blondie now is a a group that about everyone knows one or two songs of, they just don’t know it’s a Blondie song.This album is so much fun! I really love it. It’s kind off girl rock, however that doesn’t mean it’s girly pink stuff. Debbie Harry sings with this awesome strong voice, it’s just great! What I mean with it probably being more of a girls album is that the lyrics probably appeal more to them.
I for one have been bouncing through the room singing Hanging on the Telephone.
#470 - R.E.M. - Document
And yet another R.E.M album! I think there are three on the list.I didn’t like this album that much compared to Murmur. I mean it’s far from bad, it’s pretty good, but Murmur is definitely better.
Document is the album that brought us the awesomeness that is It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) though. I really love this song, it feels a little sarcastic, it’s great.
Also a highlight on the album is The one I love, which schould be more well known, too.
