[stip]

Vote

[stip]

Gardening at Night is maybe the best song of their early period. Hairshirt is okay, but it reminds me too much of too many far superior songs.

Gardening at Night

[Norah]

Gardening at Night.

[Mike]

Hairshirt is really pretty but not that special.

I never listened to Gardening at Night before. Let's change that. Hey, this is pretty great. I should listen to the Chronic Town EP.

Vote for Gardening.

[UglyRedHonda]

Can I vote for Gardening at Night, but specifically for the Different Vocal Mix? I love the earnestness of early Stipe.

every song on chronic town is delightful

[Mike]

I don't know why I never checked it out. I have a habit of never listening to EPs even with bands I absolutely love.

Do you know what a hairshirt is?

[AndySlash]

in case any of you weren't aware of this

[Norah]

Hairshirt is gorgeous, top tier REM and it deserves to go far in this tournament.

[Norah]

I'm gonna be so pissed off when you guys all start meh-ing the 11th untitled song.

[chewm]

The 11th Untitled song is way better than Hairshirt.
I actually really like Hairshit, this was close.

[Mike]

The 11th Untitled song is way better than Hairshirt.

yes

[Norah]

11th Untitled Song is so fucking good it hurts. But Hairshirt is also amazing, and the gulf between them isn't as wide as you say.

[stip]

11th untitled song is probably a top 5 REM song for me.
