Nice list, George. And you'll see that mine is (mostly) back where it belongs in the current century.
Maybe this is the time and the place for me to assert that Murmur is R.E.M.'s best album. Because it clearly is.

Some nice flavors here. I agree, Ahab, that's the best REM and still my favorite song by them. Both your lists are nicely varied. I like the Roxy cover, but I think I prefer Elvis' "MFV," George.
Yeah, we've got some pretty good coverage amongst us this week. I'm one of those people of our generation who never much cared for any R.E.M., sorry. Mostly because I was a college radio programmer in 1981 and had IRS Records jam them down my throat.
Yeah, for Roxy covering folks, I'll still take "Like a Hurricane" as #1.
