I've always liked Star Me Kitten. It brings something a bit different to the album. I like it better than Everyone Hurts, which may seem crazy.
They've opened up the vaults quite a bit and it's all on Spotify, so I'll have to see if there's anything else from those sessions that would work well. I haven't listened to REM in a while and this album in particular for years. I remember hearing a studio recording of "Drive" somewhere on one of those 130 song b side compilations. I'll have to see if I can find it and add it to the mix.
And personally, I love the instrumentals. "Endgame" is one of my favorite REM songs.
