Well, growing up in this tiny little sheltered suburban village, no one here ever listened to rock music (it's all ginos here, so we only have beats). It's a miracle I discovered U2.

Anyway, I've never really listend to REM before. They're sort of before my time, and like I said, no one here ever listened to them and could tell me about them.

What are their best songs? I want to download some stuff, but I don't know where to start...

Some good REM songs:

Losing my Religion
EveryBody Hurts
Happy People

I cant think of anymore off the top of my head but those are a good place to start.
