Released in 1991 this is R.E.M.'s 7th studio album. The record topped the album sales charts in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom, spending 109 weeks on American album charts and enjoying two separate spells at the summit, and 183 weeks on the British charts, and spending a single week at the top. The album has been certified four times platinum in the U.S. and has sold as many as 15 million copies worldwide. The album won three Grammy Awards in 1992: one as Best Alternative Music Album, and two for the first single, Losing My Religion.
My new years resolution is to listen to at least one different CD in it's entirety without skipping a track everyday of the year 2011. The idea is for me to get through my entire iTunes library which currently boasts over 1,000 CD's, 14,682 songs and over 400 artists which equates to 39.1 days of music. I also understand this is a moving target as I on average will buy one new CD every week but the challenge is set so lets see if I can do it.

Thirsty Merc - Thirsty Merc (30 April 2011)
Released in 2004 this was their debut album. I love Rai Thistlewayte's voice. Especially his version of I Am Australian which was used in the Ampol ads a few years back. This album is great and I love the tracks - Someday, Someday and Wasting Time.
