It was 20 years ago today that R.E.M. released "Document", the album that thrust them out of the college rock scene and into the mainstream. Hard to believe it has been that long.

Appetite for Destruction is now 20 years old as well.

So is the incomparable The Joshua Tree.

Now that one makes me feel old. I listened to that frequently for years.

I remember seeing Gn'R open for INXS at Texas Stadium on their 'Kick' tour back in 1987. Axl was wasted then, and couldn't sing half of the songs. This was before 'Welcome to the Jungle' became a hit.

Dola,

Here are the release dates for the previous mentioned albums:

Welcome to the Jungle: 7/21/87
The Joshua Tree: 3/9/87

The Joshua Tree is probably my favorite album of all time.

Now that one makes me feel old. I listened to that frequently for years.

I still listen to it, one of my all-time favorites.
