Answer 1

I LOVE their earlier stuff.

1. Murmur

2. Life's Rich Pageant

3. Reckoning

4. Green

5. Fables

6. Document

6 1/2- Chronic Town

7. Out of Time

8. Automatic for the People (I don't get why people like it so much)

9. Monster

10.Hi-Fi

Thoes are the ones i have heard. I haven't heard Up, Reveal or Around the Sun, but from what i have heard, they're not that good. I have to listen to Accelerate, I haven't heard it yet either.

I think i'll just stick to listening to their 80's stuff. I'm not a big fan of what they did later.

Answer 2

here's how i rank the first 14 albums(i have yet to listen to accelerate):

1. document

2. automatic for the people

3. out of time

4. green

5. reckoning

6. monster

7. life's rich pageant

8. fables of the reconstruction

9. murmur

10. up

11. new adventures in hi-fi

12. reveal

13. around the sun

Answer 3

firstly, you gotta hear accelerate - the best they've produced in years. so good its in my top ten.....

i think you could probably do without hearing reveal and around the sun - you haven't missed anything there.

i really like up, and new adventures is good, but takes some getting used to.
