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?

Not a single mention of tracks from Green yet

'World Leader Pretend' is one of the best lyrics Stipe has ever written

Great live too

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.

The title track of Around The Sun. The last 2 minutes are total win especially percussion-wise. The whole album is the first album were I liked every single track.

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.
