Culture Clash Radio with REM

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include REM's Automatic for the People as his Crucial Vinyl.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include R.E.M..

Each week, as well as blending key new releases with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week he selects R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People, released in 1992.

Don says, "This was supposed to be a more rocking affair than their previous album, but with themes revolving around loss, mourning and turning thirty, what we got was a ballad-driven masterpiece centred around Michael Stipe's unique and emotive vocal delivery. It's a truly great record.".
