Best REM song

[AmexRuislip]

For me - The Sidewinder sleeps tonite....................

 

[fleet]

Everybody hurts

 

[HantsSeagull]

Just out of interest, what is your favourite Al Bowlly song?

ooh! thats tricky. 'the very thought of you' is up there. as is Riptide. 'I'll Do My Best To Make You Happy" and Love is the Sweetest Thing.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Very obviously E-Bow the Letter.

 

[Frutos]

I got to see them live in Cardiff in 2008 when instead of the Millennium Stadium as scheduled they ended up playing the Cardiff International Arena (multiple theories exist as to how this ended up being the case - poor ticket sales seems the most common and likely one), which is about the size of the Brighton Centre.

Far from being thrown off, they were SUPERB and seemed to relish playing a smaller venue again as opposed to the stadium stuff. An awesome experience with a genuinely brilliant band and a rare chance to see such a huge name act in a more intimate setting.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Saw them at MK Bowl with Radiohead and the wonderful Cranberries with Dolores sporting a lovely bright pink number. Feckin' hot and Everybody Hurts in the fading light was immense.

Same week, but REM, Blur and Belly.

On the whole REM do very little for me, but Orange Crush and What's the Frequency Kenneth are great choons

 

[BlockDpete]

Songs? I would just put Document on.....��

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

Orange crush,

Losing my religion.

Me too, Sleeper opened the gig as well as I remember. I'll vote for Fall On Me.

 

[Tarpon]

I'll vote for Fall On Me.

And today so will I. A fine choice sir.

 

[ShanklySeagull]

Nightswimming.

....is the correct answer.

 

[Brighton TID]

So Fast, So Numb.

Also, another vote to Find The River ("Hey now little speedyhead, the read on the speedmeter says, you have to go to task in the city...)

 

[LargeHadronZugzwang]

Seconded.

 

[Deadly Danson]

So Fast, So Numb.

Another great song. One of their best albums-New adventures in hifi.
I'd also give a shout out to Tongue, Daysleeper and New test leper.

 

[Leyton Gull]

Seconded.

A bit dull, one dimensional and predictable Did not do anywhere.

 

[Leyton Gull]

And today so will I. A fine choice sir.

Yes I liked that one. Much better! It had variation and pleasant thirds whatever you call them. Though it's a tad like Yes's Wonderous Stories.

Music subjective innit. Berry, Stipe et al might differ on that opinion but heigh ho!
