[epilogue]

I'm going to finalize this 50 song playlist and then slowly work on whittling it down to 25 songs. That's going to be a goddamn nightmare.

yeah, its going to be difficult.

I'm going to finalize this 50 song playlist and then slowly work on whittling it down to 25 songs. That's going to be a goddamn nightmare.

I'm looking over your two lists -
1st pass over and I'm all like 'damn, that's a fine list - I love all these songs.'
2nd pass over and I'm all like 'Where the hell is 'x', 'y' and 'z' - what kind of damn Nazi came up with this list?'

That's the thing, man. No matter how many ways I approach this, there's something missing. It's stupid. This band has so many amazing songs, it's just absurd.

The one's that I'd pop in would be (Turns out there's more than a few I'd 'pop' in - here's a list of 20 that I think are essential.

Those are already on my full list of 50. Again, it's a playlist, so I'm thinking about flow, too. It's a work in progress.

I've only posted 40 of the full 50, so far. And I'm still working on the list.

[VinylGuy]

Guys, can i say something? I think its incredible that you two are taking the time to do a list of REM songs in 2019.

Im so fucking happy to be a part of this thread.

[Rangi Guy]

The downside of this is that it's caused me to revisit their catalog and I've discovered that there's a few of their albums I really don't care for as much as I remembered

[Kalevi]

Listened to disc 1 of the newish BBC live compilation. It's legit.
