Like off the list :-). Just never been a big fan of that one (so much of it seems like filler to me) although I do like Orange Crush a lot. As for the singles, I'd switch It's the End of the World and The One I Love. In fact, I don't even think I'd put ITEOTW on the list (again, just me though :-). Oh, and Imitation of Life would be very high on my list. Yeah, I'd say I agree with the albums more or less, but I'd put Green way lower. Like off the list :-) .

When I say they're "jokes" I think I mean that in the manner the songs were originally intended. I love those songs - albeit for different reasons - than R.E.M.'s other, uhh, "more serious" stuff.

One of those was written because someone said R.E.M. couldn't make a radio hit, and so they did with a stupid, silly song just to prove how easily it can be done - the real work is in crafting art. They've only played that particular song in concert about fifteen times - ever. AFAIK. Hey now, I said some of the others! Shiny Happy People? Stand? They're jokes.

Want to explain that? The other nine I can believe. In fact, that's why I like them. BTW, those 10 songs are exactly the same ones I downloaded from the ITMS. ;) "Everybody Hurts" is a parody?
