Damn it. It’s L.A woman by The Doors. Jeff Scheff who played bass in the studio on some of the Doors later stuff is a 31st of January baby also. I always thought this song had a fantastic bass line
Not if Gloucester win we won’t. And we can have no arguments
Happy Christmas Rich
Idiot wind is an all time great
Ready Teddy
You might be right. Is McCowan playing wide of Maeda, or has Martin gone to 4 in midfield?
Is Ihaenacho injured?
Is Ihaenacho injured?
Is Ihaenacho injured again??

Gotta be the title track
Mambo Sun is a classic
Delighted to see Leave and I Believe doing so well. Great under appreciated songs
It’s unbelievable. 5 minutes long, mandolin lead, no chorus, yet still unbelievable
Thank you! Look, each to their own. I always try and stay away from the “I’ve listened to this too much” piece in these lists. I don’t really get how that impacts on the quality of the song. We all have our opinions though, that’s what makes these so interesting.
What do you miss most about Rob? Can you tell us your favourite story about him?

Number 1: Losing My Religion
“That was just a dream
That's me in the corner”
The 9 seconds from 2.56 - 3.05 here raise the hairs on the back of my neck like virtually no other song.
Was always going to be number 1.

Thanks James. I’ve really enjoyed putting my list together and seeing what other people have chosen.

Number 2: Find the River
“I have got to leave to find my way”
One of the great album closers, from one of the truly great albums.

9 minutes sounds like a lot, here it somehow doesn’t
#REMTop30
Number 3: Country Feedback
“It's crazy what you could've had”
The people don’t think they need to watch a 9 minute version of this song featuring Neil Young. The people are wrong.

Number 4: Nightswimming
“I'm not sure all these people understand”
I know everyone will share this, but what’s one more. Just beautiful.

Number 5: What’s the Frequency Kenneth?
“You said that irony was the shackles of youth”
Visceral first single from the criminally underrated Monster. Fantastic bass line from Mike too.

Number 6: Don’t Go Back to Rockville
“At night I drink myself to sleep
Pretend I don't care if you're not here with me”
I nearly missed this today. Glorious and so very, very REM.

Number 7: I Believe
“You're on your honor not to tell”
The best melody Michael Stipe ever wrote and R.E.M’s best pop song.

8. It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)
“Leonard Bernstein”
One of the great concert closers of all time.
youtu.be/Z0GFRcFm-aY?...
She needs to get to 20?
#REMTop30
9. Man on the Moon
“Then nothing is cool”
Automatic… has one of the strongest 3 track finishes to an album I’ve ever heard. The other 2 are still to come.

10. The One I Love
“A simple prop to occupy my time”
Truth.
