also saw them live once by accident and they didn't play 'shiny happy people', can't imagine why...

Yeah Document would be my favourite of the 80's albums. Lifes Rich Pageant is a great one to get if ya liked Document. Reckoning too. The only one I'm not mad about from the 80's is Fables.

I was listening to Reveal last night. Think it could well be my 3rd favourite. Seriously under rated. Great album to stick on during a summers day kicking back with a few drinks!

I think they've only played Shiny Happy People once. Michael Stipe and Mike Mills think it's too "corny" to play. Peter Buck said he wouldn't mind playing it though. There's a few songs like that. They never play Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite either. They haven't played Stand since the 80's as well.

Did ya get their new one, Accelerate?
