September 19: REM - Fables of the Reconstruction 

Or Reconstruction of the Fables, depending on the version you own, apparently. REM are the textbook example of my albums theory, where second album builds on the first's sound, then third gets dark and weird, then fourth has a whole new sound. Fables is the third album, where they went to London to record with an old '60s folk producer, hung out with Morrissey and the Smiths, and made a dark record. But it has my favorite REM song on it, "Green Grow the Rushes," and it's one of their better albums.
