If you're a rock fan and a southerner, I don't know how you don't like "Fables of the Reconstruction"

Respectfully, "Fables" is a Southern themed album.

And Berry was from up north, Buck born in California, and Mills as well. They at least moved to Georgia when they were young.

REM is arguably the single greatest American rock band. They are epoch-shifting, as you can really point to their career as when we shifted era from "punk" to "post-punk". they are largely the sound of college rock which morphed into alternative, and they provided the template for bands to navigate from modest indie beginnings to becoming major label superstars without alienating their original fanbase of purists.
In the great great REM-Replacements war that occurred left of the dial in the 80s, I was a hard core Mats partisan, but... REM won.
