Top 5 Songs by R.E.M.

A happy by-product of doing my top 5 R.E.M. albums was the chance to pick out my favourite songs at the same time. This proved to be harder to thin down with most albums providing at least one song I really love. Despite that my final five have come from only three albums. I thought about restricting myself to one song from each album, but try as I might I didn't feel happy with any alternative selections. Short on words this week, as I've been tied up with other things, so I'll just have to let the music do the talking.

1. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (1987, Document) - http://youtu.be/Z0GFRcFm-aY



2. So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry) (1984, Reckoning) - http://youtu.be/msWi0c4tHV8



3. Finest Worksong (1987, Document) - http://youtu.be/559eWB93jW4
