@Cj which R.E.M is your favorite?

I can't choose just one!

Favourite songs by them -

Shiny Happy People
Near Wild Heaven
What's the Frequency Kenneth?
Electrolite
The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight

It was difficult even narrowing it down to 5 songs!

Have you seen Perfect Square? One of my all time favourite music DVDs :D

I always pictured that id be dancing at my wedding to electrolite

I can't choose just one!

I meant which record. For me it's Murmur and Life's Rich Pageant. To pick a fav song? Impossible :)

I have not seen Perfect Square. And if you've not seen The Punk Singer, let's both watch...

I think my fav REM song *right now* is Time after Time, because I'm struggling a bit.

@The Albatross
Thank you for listing Nikka Costa! No one remembers her.
Also, I'm adding everyone else on your list to mine with the exception of Tori Amos and Faith No More. Just not a fan

It's impossible for me to pick one record! :hilarious: That's a sure sign of an awesome band ;)

I'll have a look for Punk Singer, for sure...Perfect Square is brilliant, I am sure you will like it :)
