Everybody Hurtzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[LemonMelon]

My top four from this album:

Monty Got A Raw Deal
Man On The Moon
Nightswimming
Find The River (the ending trio of this album is one of the all-time greats)

Next up, Everybody Hurts. I want to hurt Stipe every time I hear it. I consider it an act of self defense.

 

[corianderstem]

Man On the Moon is a really great song, but I am SO tired of it.

My top 4:

Find the River
Drive
Try Not to Breathe
Sweetness Follows

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

My top 4 are Sidewinder, Man on the Moon, Nightswimming and Find the River. All 4 of which would probably be in my all-time top 10 or 15 R.E.M. songs.

And I'm not sure what I want to vote for here.

 

[Salome]

even if I would listen to Everybody Hurts 5 times a day for the next 40 years Ignoreland would still be an inferior song

 

[U2inUtah]

Fuck me kitten

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

You know what, I think I'm gonna go with that as well.

 

[Lancemc]

Umm, Ignoreland. Duh!

 

[Lancemc]

And Star Me Kitten is one of my favorites here, but it's clearly not going to make it very far.

 

[phanan]

I guess I'm in the minority, because despite it being overplayed, I don't mind Everybody Hurts.

Ignoreland for me.

My top four would be Try Not To Breathe, Man On The Moon, Nightswimming, and Find The River.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Finally, an R.E.M. album I know backwards and forwards, so I can participate!

Monty Got A Raw Deal


I 'Fuck Me Kitten'

 

[LemonMelon]

Come on, guys. Triple elimination!

 

[lazarus]

This.

 

[Axver]

Everybody Hurts, I suppose. I rather enjoy Ignoreland, actually. The two songs I particularly want to be finalists are Drive and Find The River; I'm not so fussed what other songs fill the remaining spots. Would like Ignoreland to be one of them, but if it goes, it goes and I don't care too greatly.

 

[cobl04]

Try Not to Breathe, Everybody Hurts, Man on the Moon and Nightswimming for me.

I haven't seen the poll yet, I'll vote for whatever's winning..

 

[MMP]

I was torn between MGaRD and Ignoreland. Went for MGaRD.

EDIT: People voting for Everybody Hurts is sad. If it wasn't released as a single and wasn't a "hit" I believe it wouldn't recieve a single vote. Just like UtEotW in U2's Survivor.

And btw, 22 votes! Awesome!

 

[cobl04]

Except Until the End of the World wasn't a huge single, and it hasn't been overplayed, and it doesn't get that many votes in the survivors.

 

[monkeyskin]

If the final three tracks don't all make it through it will be a sad, sad day.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

wow, I figgured Everybody Hurts was more liked than this, it's never been a fav of mine but still...

I voted for Ignoreland to hopefully at least get a double elmination this round, even though I dislike Star Me Kitten more.

 

[LemonMelon]

EDIT: People voting for Everybody Hurts is sad. If it wasn't released as a single and wasn't a "hit" I believe it wouldn't recieve a single vote. Just like UtEotW in U2's Survivor.

Well, I would certainly be irritated by it a little less often, so that's something in its corner.

24 votes

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, double elimination! Awesome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Wow, this is by far the most votes we've received in any round.

Fucking bandwagoning frontrunners. I'ma have to get all Buffy Summers circa 1997 on your asses. I have a wooden stake in my purse. It's the new mace.

 

[MMP]

Except Until the End of the World wasn't a huge single, and it hasn't been overplayed, and it doesn't get that many votes in the survivors.

No, I was saying that UtEotW is all that you said, that's why it doesn't get that many votes.




And... 25 votes

 

[Irishteen]

Star Me Kitten

 

[MMP]

Well, almost a triple one this time. I guess it's better that it wasn't since I still have some doubts that Star is gonna be the next one out.


Oh... and how many songs proceed? Four? I can't choose only four.

 

[lazarus]

My four:

Sweetness Follows
Find the River
Nightswimming
Man on the Moon, even if I'm a little sick of it.

 

[Axver]

Can we just consider this a triple elimination?

 

[FitzChivalry]

It seems Indie/elitist tastes have won over again. There's no way 'Monty Got A Raw Deal' is better than 'Everybody Hurts'.

Fail.

 

[Lancemc]

My four:

Sweetness Follows
Find the River
Nightswimming
Man on the Moon, even if I'm a little sick of it.

Actually... yes. I agree.

Even though I could probably swap Man on the Moon for Drive and be just as satisfied.

Sweetness Follows owns our collective souls, however. One of their greatest.
