All these are what I consider artistic high-points of the respective careers of said bands.

DI gets plugged here every other week so I felt I should be the one to do it this week. It was the first thing I'd ever heard from them, a random find in the used racks for 50 cents, and I love it.

r.e.m. -- _chronic town_: their best work. bill berry never got so original and lively again, peter buck so intricate. "carnival of sorts" is a high-water mark in 80s pop music or any pop music.
_kill yr idols_ was an inspired choice. the implied threats of _confusion is sex_ take shape. the live version of "shaking hell" is the most violent frightening rock music ever.
and yes, of course, _you made me realise_/_feed me with your kiss_/_tremolo_ are very special.

I've always felt that 12" EPs should be classified as something else entirely. 'Cause they're not exactly "extended", are they?
