Subject: R.E.M. 90's song poll
Written By: nally on 01/20/07 at 1:18 pm
I don't think I saw a poll for R.E.M.'s 1990s songs yet, so I figured I'd start one up.
Right now I'm trying to decide between "Shiny Happy People" and "Everybody Hurts".

I voted for "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"... only R.E.M. could make a hit song out of Dan Rather being accosted on a New York Street by a schizophrenic man! :D

I will wait for you modify the poll before I cast my vote.

Okay, I have modified my poll to include all of the band's hits from the 1990's. Since I had to do several insertions, the vote count had to be reset to zero on all the songs, so you will all need to re-cast your votes.

I think all my faves are from the '80s:
such as
South Central Rain (I'm Sorry)
Pretty Persuasion
Losing My Religion (1989, still popular early '90s)

No, I think that song was from 1991, thus making it a 90's song. I doubt very seriously that it existed two years beforehand.
I just know that it was a big hit in the U.S. in April of 1991.

Definitly 1991, for we had Cable Television for the first time in 1991, and Losing My Religion was been played all the time.

I thought so. ;)
In April 1991, when it was released as a single in the U.S., I was in the 5th grade and wasn't listening to music very much. For me it was all about TV...or Dodger games.

It is a sad song somewhat, but not half as sad as Everybody Hurts. Both such emotional songs :)

Everybody Hurts is one of the saddest songs ever. But I prefer Man on the Moon & Losing My Religion

I chose "At My Most Beautiful", with "Daysleeper" closely behind.

I heard 'Lotus' the other day, and I remembered just how much I dislike that song. It is easily my least favourite from them

I just found another hit by R.E.M. that somehow eluded me when I researched their disography ...
From the 1992 "Automatic For the People" album, the song "Ignoreland" reached #43 in Canada on February 6, 1993

"Up" Is probably my favorite of their albums after the eighties...
They've really gone downhill in the 2000s, though. I mean... They're still good, but they often get boring.

I LOVE 80s REM and really like 90s REM. For some reason, I never liked "Shiny Happy People." However, from the 90s, I like:
Drive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnlAHrPUD2c
Bang And Blame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUoTbPAGvsE
Whats The Frequency Kenneth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fxfDRYGtjw
Radio Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNPv7jJmibs
Bittersweet Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZSJkA-9Vr8
I only know the first three of those.
And btw, I still haven't decided which one I'm gonna vote for in my poll.

I voted "Sidewinder Sleeps". I really liked Automatic For The People.
However, my all-time fave REM track is 2001's "Imitation of Life".

I have so many favs but picked Strange currencies, seeing it performed live was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was like Mike was making love to the audience. I will never forget it.
The only song I really love (and most fgans hate) is Rockville. My least fav song would have to be Stand.
REM is my #2 fav band, I think everyone knows my #1...
Strange Currencies

Driftwood my #1 fav band

Love Old REM. As far as the Moody Blues, they are hit and miss with me. I LOVE their big hits - LOVE THEM. However, some of their stuff is hard to me to get into. i didnt know Driftwood - good song.

So I've changed my mind again. Overall, Monster is my favorite album of theirs from the '90s; but "At My Most Beautiful" and "Daysleeper" are my favorite songs of them, possibly of all-time.
