Just had a great suggestion from @harsh3466@lemmy.world - how about we start a “book club” but for alternative albums! Apparently our friends over at HipHopHeads has started one. I think that sounds splendid!

As !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz wrote: “Next week I will start the thread. Every week will be a different album and anybody who is interested can give it a listen, then share their opinions in the weekly thread!”

Sound good?

YOUR ALBUM ASSIGNMENT: REM - Automatic For The People

The band that is our community header that kicked off a 1000 alternative bands of their own. After taking college rock and literally kick starting the “authenticity” alternative music boom of the 90s, REM returned with this brooding dark album.

Have fun and get listening!!!

Feel free to DM me or any mod suggestions.
