I like "Losing My Religion"

We covered that one in a band I was in about 15 years ago and did a strange "Ooooooha...oooohapwap"-chorus... *LOL* Great song.

I have loved REM since college, back around the time of Murmur.

Thanks for posting these, as they enlivened my lunch break.

As for my favorite REM song, I really love Flowers of Guatemala. So pretty.

And there are some Guatemala-slideshows on u-tube with this song. :-)

Thank you for that! My country is a land of such great beauty which is sadly marred by violence, sadness and poverty. I wish people knew what an amazing place it can be.

Oh....It's me sweety. *sigh* Yes that is a beautiful song. Nightswimming. Great piano. They seem to be doing well on thier own don't they?

I've always loved REM. Not sure I can choose one favourite song. Yes I love Drive, but also Everybody Hurts and Loosing my Religion and...... ;-)))

They've done so many good songs ...

Oh, yes, this is also one of my favourites. Though - like "Losing my Religion", "Everybody Hurts" has been around so much, that it almost sounds a bit worn-out (not because the song is, but because the ears get so accustomed to it. The same with all beautiful songs that are not edgy enough to resist being worn out... but songs with too many edges and corners tend to be less catchy. Oh, well.)

I also love:

Yes, that's very beautiful as well.
