Don't POLL On Meeee (It's Gonna POLL): REM's "Lifes Rich Pageant"

fly to carry each his burden

can we get some love for Flowers of Guatemala? i have always really loved that song and probably posted the same thing upthread but i feel like it deserves more votes than 2!! tough competition i guess.

americana

"Night wings her hair chains
Here's your wooden greenback sing
Wooden beams and dovetail sweep
I struck that picture ninety times
I walked that path a hundred ninety
Long, low time ago, people talk to me"

on paper at least, this is legit the closest thing to Syd Barrett anyone has done

No votes for Hyena makes me sad, the urgency in the verses in that tune.

"Flowers" is so Velvet-y. And I love that simple guitar solo.

nights unfurl at the opening, in the final act of the beginning of time

"some bone chains and tooth...picks" kills me every time.

Trust in your calling, make sure your calling's true
Think of others, the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make
Practice, practice makes perfect
Perfect is a fault and fault lines change

Swan Swan Hummingbird is the one here that still gives me chills, great album

we are all free now

i don't even actually know all the words. i sing along anyway. i just love how they sound. and "begin the begin" is one of the all time great opening tracks. its amazing.

pretty sure they used "what noisy cats are we"on a t-shirt design back in the day

and "Superman" my god

SWAHN SWAHN HUMMINGBIIIIIRD is the only track I don't get :/
