-Good call on the Steely Dan.
-Sandinista! is not full of filler.
-Give ém enough rope is BEFORE The Clash.
-No hipsterism or poseurism about people preferring The Kinks over the Beatles in the UK (well, every year less, as people age and pass on), but here, yeah maybe.

REM´s run is/was impressive (given that I went to the University of Georgia, I always thought maybe homerism got the best of me a bit).

Darklands (1987)
Automatic (1989)

I guess I need to go back to my Safe European Home.....

ETA To be fair, both The Clash and Give ém Enough Rope were kind of mishmash compilations (they had isolated singles and EP´s prior to both).

referring to Pixies.

I thought Bossanova was terrible, therefore, interrupting their "5 album run".

REM is easily one of the best, but I would say Murmur through Document.
I thought maybe someone would say that. I consider Document the beginning of the end. If I must include it, I'd just not do a list for them.



I actually threw Hootenanny in the trash, or I'd have done a Mats list.

It's freaking awesome. Go listen to it. Like, now. I think it's their best album, aside from Twin Cameras.

The only "great" RHCP album is Blood Sugar Sex Magic . Their other ones have good stuff but are always littered with too much filter.
