The use of is it Copperplate? on LRP packaging and promo material was weirdly compelling to me as a high school dork.

Probably my all-time favorite R.E.M. song.

I bought Lifes Rich Pageant on the strength of "Fall On Me" alone. That album is utterly righteous from start to finish, and "Fall On Me" might be my favorite REM song!

Rockville remains my number one REM fave…given their discography, that’s a tough call…

Same ... but it's in part b/c of the nostalgia & memories around that song & that era, when REM was just another college radio band.

Agreed…have to say everything after Green, it just fell apart for me…very, very few songs I got into…eg Everybody Hurts is on my all time Godawful song list…cannot physically listen to it…

Life’s Rich Pageant is still amazing and one of my most listened to albums.
