I made my mom take me to the record store to buy Document that day .  Previous MessagePrevious MessagePrevious MessageAnd Document is good too. Much of the rest of their work is great also after they changed labels, just different... Automatic for the People, New Adventures, etc. Only 2 albums I wouldn't regularly go back to are Monster and Around the Sun. Currently reading a recent biography of them. Michael Stipe used to live down the street from my old junior high and swim at the local pool, though he left for Georgia right as I moved in. The Eponymous "They airbrushed my face" photo is from my HS' 1978 yearbook.
