100 Greatest American Albums of All Time (100 music items)

"A great American musical journey begins Nailing R.E.M.’s debut was hardly a breeze — during initial sessions, they attempted no fewer than 40 takes of “Catapult” — but they eventually pulled off a peerless meeting of intelligence and power. It marked the point at which the punk legacy made peace with rock history, and a new U.S. folk music was born. Standout tracks: “Radio Free Europe,” “Talk About the Passion”"

"Embracing the Byrds’ jangle until it became as blurry as the album’s cover and aping Patti Smith’s poetic punk vision, R.E.M.’s impossibly enigmatic debut effectively spawned college rock. While remaining of its time, it has aged impressively well. Standout track: “Radio Free Europe”"
