Of their 21st c records, the only REM song that I can say that I like is "Imitation of Life." Cool, trippy video, too.
That, Nightswimming and Orange Crush are my favourites of REM.
All solid picks. I think their greatest achievement is "It's the End of the World …," but "Harborcoat" is my favourite.
Agreed
Billy Joel ripped Subterranean off better on We Didn't Start the Fire.

Near Wild Heaven an addition to mine. Haven't heard Harborcoat, will listen in a bit.
Here's my unasked for REM top 5. I'm gonna put them on now before Top of the Pops 89 starts.

Near Wild Heaven
Talk About the Passion
You Are the Everything
Get Up
Radio Free Europe
Tonight's edition was watched by my Mum when she was in labour with me. My main thought is that Curiosity Killed the Cat were shit.

God yes, they were horrible. The stiffest dance music I've ever heard. It was a poor era for British pop.

Pixies are a band that I'll listen to obsessively for a couple weeks, then nothing for years. No idea why.
I hate the Pixies and my first show with that band I was in was a Pixies tribute night. I should have seen the writing on the wall.
I think this is the first major musical division between us. I don't know whether to sleep on the couch or arrange for couple's therapy.
I'll take the couch, it's better for my back.
Fine. I'll see you in the morning.
Unless I go to my sister's.

If you walk out, keep walkin', buster, because I won't be here when you return.

Pixies are a band I don’t think about for months or years then obsessively listen to as I ask myself “why don’t I listen to them more?”
Debaser is perfect. Never given much else a proper go, will have to add them to the listening list now.

EDIT: my left field favorite REM song is “Feeling Gravity’s Pull.” Fables of the Reconstruction isn’t as immediately accessibke as some of their albums, but the older I get the more it becomes my favorite.
Definitely my favourite album of theirs. A very Southern gothic record in mood. It just oozes kudzu, Spanish moss, and abandoned plantations.
Totally. It’s the most pure Southern thing I’ve ever heard. Not country. Just...Southern.

Yeah. I’m sorry Heston. I know you like to play this character of “completely terrible opinions man,” but I don’t believe it.
