[TR24][OF] R.E.M.(REM) - Green - 1988 (Rock, Alternative)

With their 1988 major label debut, R.E.M. stepped forward from the shadows of underground rock into the mainstream limelight. Green saw the band reinventing their sound, incorporating mandolin, accordion and keyboards into some of their greatest songs and biggest hits: “Orange Crush,” “Stand,” “Pop Song 89,” and “Get Up.” The record went double-platinum and stands among the band’s most enduring and critically acclaimed albums. Reviews
“…Green is a distinctive record with a new feel, at once slightly synthetic and deeply felt… Listen closely and you can hear references to the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Sly Stone and others.”
