Only 5!?! this is aint gonna be easy!!

For now i will go with...

Perfect Circle Orange Crush Oddfellows Local 151 Exhuming McCarthy The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight

But im missing out some classics... stand, great beyond, fall on me, world leader pretend, and so on!

Get Up, Disturbance At The Heron House, Fall On Me, Walk Unafraid, Talk About The Passion.

Honarable mentions for Cuyahoga and the untitled one at the end of Green.

Ask me again tomorrow and I'll give you a different five...

Stand, as good as it is, is the stupidest song ever written.

I cant believe i forgot Finest Worksong, I Took Your Name, Bad Day and Electrolite.

Bit gutted i only saw them twice on the last tour. Isle of Wight and Manchester. Should have gone to Hyde Park :(

I prefer the non-ballads... Very difficult... They did a lot of great stuff...

Bad Day Orange Crush Losing my religion Animal Stand

New Test Leper Stand The Great Beyond Perfect Circle Man On The Moon

Lest favourite/Most irritating REM song would be Shiny Happy People, of course. Would that be a universal choice?

Superman is not a REM song !

Anyway, here's my top 5:

Talk about the passion Don't go back to Rockville Orange crush The one I love Let me in

Never got the big deal about them. Stipe must rate as one of the most annoying people on the planet, alongside Zane Lowe and that bloke from the Scissor Sisters (Ana Matronic).

Having said that, Man on the Moon, It's The End... and Imitation of Life are classics.

why not? should one discount all along the watchtower as one's favourite jimi hendrix song simply because he didn't write it? or the byrds' cover of turn, turn, turn?

i saw some comedian on comedy central do a bit where he said this was the best college bar song ever because dozens of drunken students would mumble along to it and then, in perfect harmony, yell out 'leonard bernstein!' too true. and a great song, as well.
