What makes Automatic For The People exceptional is its ability to address the most profound human experiences without platitudes or melodrama. The album arrived at a pivotal cultural moment when AIDS was decimating communities and a generation reckoned with its mortality far earlier than expected. But one of its gifts is how it balances darkness with light. For every sombre moment, there's a counterbalance of wit or transcendence.
Featured songs:

The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
