What would the R.E.M. aficionados among you recommend as a good starting point in their discography?

I certainly agree with SGR about the early albums (also add Fables of the Reconstruction) but I'd also add Automatic For the People on the list. Also, I think New Adventures in Hi-Fi is highly underrated.
