"Sunshine Superman", "Jennifer Juniper", "Hurdy Gurdy Man", "Mellow Yellow" etc are my faves. My dad had his 1969 Greatest Hits on vinyl and I listened to that religiously. To me.. he impacted so many...especially was a major influence of Beck (mainly in his lyrical style).
I've been listening to a lot of earlier REM over the past week..it's just overwhelming how horrid they've become over the years. Also, been in an early-mid 90s kick, listening to such bands as Cracker, Garbage, Letters to Cleo, the Breeders, Candlebox, Brother Cane, and Pavement.
