OK here are my top REM songs from the same era and it was hard to whittle it down to 12-ish. So some that were on your list I would include too.

Catapult – Murmur
So. Central Rain – Reckoning
Driver 8 – Fables…
Can’t Get There From Here – Fables
It’s the End of the World As We Know It… – Document
Losing My Religion – Out of Time
World Leader Pretend -Green
Orange Crush – Green
You Are the Everything – Green
Begin the Begin – Life’s Rich Pagaent
I am Superman – Life’s Rich Pagaent
Fall On Me – Life’s Rich Pagaent
I Believe – Life’s Rich Pagaent

Losing My Religion and It’s the End of the World… almost didn’t make the list just because they were such huge hits but that really shouldn’t be a disqualifying trait.

I started listening to REM with Fables as well. I agree with you that even though Fables wouldn’t normally be ranked at the top of an “REMs Best Albums” list, that there is something special about those songs that you first discover a great band with. For the same reason Empire Burlesque will always be one of my favorite Bob Dylan albums. (not sure why I am using ‘albums’ when I originally got them on cassette but have since gotten them all on CD).

Also thanks for turning my on to “Crazy” I have pretty much slept on the whole Dead Letter OOffice.

I can’t stand REM anymore, but all these lists, including yours, remind me that I really used to love them. Brings back such great memories of college, too. I saw them in St. Louis, circa 1988, with Bitchin’, Joe Dog, Ed and I think Bob Peick and Poss. Here are some of my favorites:

Don’t Go Back to Rockville

Fall on Me

Near Wild Heaven

Also, Dead Letter Office, their B-sides album, is pretty great.

Didn’t KRS-One’s appearance on “Radio Song” kill or at least severely damage his career? And didn’t he criticize Stipe over it?

I am not a homophobe at all, but his spoken-voice part at the beginning of that song sounded like a woman selecting a scarf at a half-price sale.

I will second: the praise for “New Adventures in Hi-Fi,” a remarkably good, surprisingly forgotten-about album; and “Furry Happy Monsters.”

My favorite songs from each (applicable) album:

“Murmur”: “Radio Free Europe”

“Reckoning”: “Pretty Persuasion”

“Fables”: “Can’t Get There From Here”

“Pageant”: “Fall On Me”

“Document”: “Finest Worksong”

“Green”: “Stand” (an obvious choice, but spurred along by its use as the theme song for “Get a Life”)

“Out of Time”: “Radio Song” (Strings AND the vocal stylings of KRS-One)

“Automatic”: “Nightswimming” (although “Sweetness Follows” is a close second)

“Monster”: “Crush with Eyeliner”

“Adventures”: “Leave”

“Up”: “Daysleeper” (but I hate that album)

“Reveal”: “Imitation of Life”

“Around the Sun” None. Boring.

“Accelerate”: “I’m Gonna DJ”

No doubt, the greatest work in REM’s catalog is ‘Furry Happy Monsters’. I never got as deep into them as most other college kids in the early 90s. They were, after all, no Deadeye Dick – and Stipe’s voice is much too masculine for my taste.

Nightswimming is good though.
