"Driver 8" and "Fall on Me" are two of their greatest, and every lifelong R.E.M. fan loves them.

A couple years back I gave a listen to R.E.M.'s entire catalog and it blew me away. This band is one of the greatest bands to ever exist.

The secret sauce in REM songs was Mike Mills' bass lines. He never just mirrored the guitar chords...he was always playing some kind of counterpoint to what Peter was playing or Michael was singing. I would love to hear Rick do a video with some isolated REM bass lines.

Might not be a popular pick, but Nightswimming is their best for me. Just simple, nostalgic, beautiful.

Half a World Away – Texarkana – Country Feedback - played back to back - THAT is perfection!

"Near Wild Heaven" has harmonies that give me the chills.

"Talk About the Passion" and "Catapult" are two of my favorites of their early stuff.

I was BLOWN AWAY the first time I heard Fall On Me. Hands down, their best song, by far. Nothing else they did ever came close. Nothing sounded like them when they came out.

I didn’t realize how many REM songs I liked until I read these comments.
