At the risk of sounding hyperbolic… this song changed my life. It was the first time I heard something that wasn’t on the radio, and it was a breath of fresh air. This song led me to buying Murmur, and opened my world to so much good music. The IRS year for the boys from Athens were so good, but after they moved over to Warner Bros it was a steady decline. Although, Automatic is pretty fuckin’ good.
I saw them around this time at the Antenna. Great band, great people.
First CD I bought!
Murmur/Reckoning/Fables makes me feel warm inside.
me too. Don’t forget Chronic Town…

I was late to the R.E.M. party. Fables of the Reconstruction did it for me, I think after I saw this on MTV.
