I thought I could nail it, but I can’t even narrow it down to ten and I have no idea which one I’d leave off, while at the same time I realize I’m leaving so much off of THIS list. Oh boy.

At least 3 of these are 100% worthy of best REM song.
Except the best REM song isn't on that list.
There are several I'd put in consideration that are not on the list.
It's crazy what you could have had.

I have no idea what's going on.

I'll assume I made some sort of typo? But I still don't get it. I'm sorry for the typo, Pete. People make mistakes. Can you just tell me what' happening, please?

I responded with a lyric from the song I was calling the best REM song.

I prefer catchy, poppy REM over dark, atmospheric REM. I don't really get why people love "E-bow the Letter" so much

I love E-bow. But I think there are way better REM tunes. It's worth mentioning, for sure, but I don't think it would make my top 10 ultimately.

yeah e-bow the letter is fantastic

I should listen to NAIHF on the commute home tonight. It's been a minute.

"Country Feedback" is another one I could do without

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Sun January 06, 2019 11:25 pm

In no particular order, my favorites...Narrow it down in 20 songs....:

Life And How To Live it
Talk About The Passion
Begin The Begin
Finest Worksong
Its The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Drive
Nightswimming
Man On The Moon
E Bow The Letter
Electrolite
At My Most Beautiful
Daysleeper
Leaving New York
Make It All Okay
Living Well Is The Best Revenge
Supernatural Superserious
It Happened Today
Blue
The Great Beyond
Bad Day

"E-Bow" and "Country Feedback" would both crack my top ten, I'm pretty sure.
