119. Creating the Ultimate 21st Century REM Song Collection

R.E.M. are releasing their final 4 studio albums on vinyl before Christmas 2023 (Reveal (2001), Around the Sun (2004), Accelerate (2008), and Collapse into Now (2011)). So, after placing his pre-order, podcast co-host (and REM fan) Stephen thought it was time to go solo and revisit the albums with the following scenario: What if the band’s record label (Warner Bros) wanted a 21st Century REM best-of which had to include 3 tracks from each album; which tracks would he pick? Join Stephen as he critiques each record; reminisces about the time of their release; and makes his song selections. Like the podcast?
