REM... I'll say it started with Document, but all doubt was removed by Out of Time
My first thought was Out Of Time but I think you're right about Document. The One I Love and It's The End of the World opened them up to an entirely new audience. Losing My Religion put them over the edge.
I'll say RHCP BloodSugarSexMagik
and a pretty easy one - Green Day - Dookie.

Yes -- that's when I stopped listening to them
And Pen I replied to your Graham Parker post, if you want to give it a bump so the other GP fan on here can see it

REM's breakthrough was actually Green. Document got them signed a major label, and Green was their major label debut. Stand was their first #1 single on the Mainstream Rock chart (Orange Crush was their second).
Its the End of the World was NOT a big hit at the time of its release. The One I Love was a minor hit, but Stand was actually the song that burst REM to the mainstream. (They then re-released End of the World, and it charted then).
Though Out of Time was their first #1 album.
Good News for People Who Love Bad News for Modest Mouse is my submission.

I'll say Born to Run.
The whole Time/Newsweek PR thing didn't hurt.

I'll still say Document was their mainstream break through (The One I Love being a top 20 hit) and was their first platinum record, that progressed through Green and was blow open by Out Of Time...
The Majority of "new" REM fans I know were brought on by Document and acclimated to the rest through Eponymous...
