Thanks for posting some properly good R.E.M. songs. I'll prob check out some more, but on first listen these were the ones I liked best:
^ That makes an unusually trilogy of "most owned" records, SGR! Very interesting.
I can only do mine from memory as I no longer have them, but when I was an LP buyer, I had (clear winner) John Fahey, then Dylan, then runners-up prob Beefheart or Allman Bros.

Yeah, i suppose it is. It doesn't necessarily mean I'd put REM in my top 3 bands or anything, they've just got a lot of records and I like them enough to buy most of them. The gentle melodies of Buck, Stipe, and Mills were a constant companion through my mid to late teen years, so REM will always have a special place in my heart.
Speaking of REM, I somehow forgot to include this tune, which is on the same record as "E-Bow the Letter" - great stuff:
On the topic of Beefheart, what's your favorite record from his discography?

If memory serves, it was Dre's first album 'The Chronic' that popularized that slang - I think it was Snoop (or maybe Dre) that misheard 'hydroponic weed' as 'hydrochronic weed'. Or maybe someone who they were smoking with was high and mispronounced it - but anyways, they adopted 'chronic' as a shorthand for that weed and well, I'm sure you can guess the rest of the story, given how well Dre's debut sold.
