I don't think Shaking Through is close to the best song on murmur, though it's very good.

It Happened Today is in my top 5 of the post Hi-Fi run, and may also be a top 20 song. It is everything REM does well in one incredible song. I could listen to the second half of that song forever.

Shaking Through is the best song on Murmur, you dolt.

Yeah, Shaking Through is great. I really like It Happened Today but it shouldn't win here.

Perfect Circle, Sitting Still, and west of the fields are clearly better

West of the Fields is probably the worst song from Murmur. The only one that might be better than Shaking Through is Talk About the Passion.
