Ten very high class tunes from one of the most important bands of all time.
Great list! Many of my favorites on here. Nice to see somebody actually make a choice from the post-Automatic years worthy of the boast (E-Bow the Letter is a killer song).
Shalom, y'all!

How about Man on the Moon, from the movie soundtrack? We all know that it is their best...
Man on the Moon was a single from Automatic for the People long before the "Man on the Moon" semi-hit movie.
To some, that may be their best. I have never really gotten into it.
I love R.E.M.
"Losing My Religion" is one of the greatest love songs. And "Nightswimming" is a classic.
I'd probably have included "Crush with Eyeliner."
