REM song tournament: Lament Wins!

[stip]

chris and platy have the two best songs on Murmur, methinks

[Norah]

radio free europe is better than shaking through. But they're all good songs.

maybe, but it's close

[Lament]

A lot of people would agree with you on Radio Free Europe. That was a super popular request when I used to my new wave/classic alternative night.

For what it's worth, I think I have the best song on Murmur. And Out of Time. And New Adventures in Hi-Fi. And Up (well, tied for the best). And Around the Sun. Maybe Monster too.

they're all good songs.

This tournament has really been eye opening for me. Like I knew REM was good, but they really have a deep catalog of solid tunes. Obviously some are better than others, but they really have A LOT of good material. Even with the post Berry stuff, to these ears, there has not been a whole lot of flat out stinkers. I need to listen to "Around the Sun" and "Collapse Into Now" a bit more, but I don't recall many songs I flat out hated.

I probably don't belong in any REM thread, let alone a tournament like this, but it's not even close.

Shaking Through is better.

You really do have a solid team. I love your Monster pick. Speaking of Monster, it seems to not be rated as high among the REM faithfull, but I love it, and I really love my pick too (Circus Envy).

Alright, let me figure out which Collapse Into Now and Reveal songs I want. I'm pretty sure I know which Reveal one I'm going with, but I need to be sure...

[stip]

Imo I may have the best song on Green and Reckoning, and do have the best song on Fables and Around the Sun

I bet you don't pick the one I want you to pick

[stip]

i do feel like the teams are generally a lot more even this time than the last tournament

Walk it Back &

[stip]

I'm glad someone took beachball. I adore that song. It was a coin flip between that and chorus and the ring for me

[Norah]

Around the Sun

[epilogue]

Walk it Back is a stud. Probably my second favorite on the album.

Two songs from Automatic are gonna go unpicked, and someone already took the only song from it I really didn't want, so I guess it worked out that I saved that one for last. I should get to pick between at least three songs I genuinely like.

I take
