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.

"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.

During my time as a VP of A&R at Epic Records I tried to sign REM on two separate occasions, once in 1987 when their deal ran out at IRS (just after The One I Love came out) and a number of years later when Automatic For The People came out and their deal with Warner Bros was over. The first time I was quite disappointed that I wasn't able to however, As it happened in 1988 I signed their friends, The Indigo Girls whose debut LP with us produced by Scott Litt had REM playing on almost every track and went on to be nominated for Best New Artist Grammy and won in the category of Best Folk Record and ended up selling more than 3M albums. All told, they've sold over 15million LPs .

"Fall on Me" deserved a mention. It's amazing in all respects especially the conversion of the vocals in the chorus. It's eerily nostalgic and utterly beautiful.

My favorite REM song is "Me in Honey". Kate Pierson's voice just sends it over the edge for me, it's sp beautiful and sad.

Find the River is my favorite. It’s tough to pick from so many excellent songs, but Find the River is an absolutely gorgeous song, perfect in every element.

Why has nobody pointed out the obvious choice; Country Feedback. Absolutely incredible vocals and emotional intensity. No surprise it's Michael Stipes favourite REM song

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

As a straight ahead banger of a rock song, Orange Crush is one of my all time favorites. The bass and snare sounds are incredible.

@coaxguy99

Anybody else love "Sidewinder"? It was their nod to "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE is do bomb.

@brbailey

The Flowers of Guatemala is an incredibly beautiful song. Begin the Begin is a great, fun song.

Rick, I know this vid is a year old, but my father died shortly after Automatic came out, my mother soon after. Try Not to Breathe, Sweetness Follows, Everybody Hurts and Find a River resonates so strongly with me. It was the right album at the right time.Truthfully Document is my favorite R.E.M. album, Automatic is a very close second. Congrats on interviewing Mike Mills, so good to see R.E.M. perform at the Songwriters ceremony.

Top 5 all time band. “Fall on Me’ ‘Don’t go back to Rockville” plus So. Central Rain ALWAYS in my rotation.

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

@Elephantstonica

You are the Everything, for me. Off GREEN.

@301rs

My favorite REM song is Night swimming. The melody, the backing piano and Micheal stipe’s soulfully sung lyrics…wow it just gets me in the gut! So good!

“South Central Rain” is probably my favorite REM song. ❤

"Driver 8" does it for me. I was in art school at UGA during the early 80s and frequently ran into them in the department. I saw them many times at Legion Field and/or 40 Watt. Stipe would eat lunch sometimes at The Grill, a local joint, and was a pleasant soul. I sold a camera to Pete when I worked at a local store, part time, in Athens in 1985. I think I made $3 in commission....lol. I have several drawings of the lady featured in "The One I Love" as she was a frequent model in our art classes. Fun times that I never realized were significant at the time.
