R.e.m.
My favourite R.E.M. song is "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)".
Do you have a favourite R.E.M. song and what is it?

So many great songs to choose from from Stipe and the lads.
Got sick of hearing Automatic For The People though, their previous album Out of Time wipes the floor with it. Usually do What's The Frequency Kenneth or Losing My Religion on karaoke. |

Funny, only this weekend listened to their "Best of" comilation CD and really really like it. Favourite tracks at the minute are:
Losing My Religion (loved this song for a good while) The Great Beyond Imitation of Life Orange Crush Man on The Moon Infact I quite like the whole CD so will be looking further into more of their work very soon.
