  • There's a song that in the late '80s was nearly as inescapable as The One I Love and amazingly it hasn't been picked yet.

      There's 2 or 3 of them.

        It's always the bass lines.

        • I have a list so long right now that I'm not sure what I'm going to pick after Sheep's picks. I do have a couple of overplayed earworms on the list.

            I was hoping against hope for it with my 4th pick

                • I was hoping King of Birds would last a little longer. Good pick.

                    • Should we create a roster thread?

                          A trick that used to work was installing the program to a flash drive. I used to get poker platforms to work on the Uni network like that.

                          • Some (not all) of the REM die-hards I know really hate "Shiny Happy People." So I was not surprised to see it last this long.

                            I think it's a nice little ditty, but it's not representative of what REM is all about.

                            • Excellent pick with Shiny Happy People. I really flip flopped between that and Perfect Circle and figured the Poppy song would have a better chance of getting back to me with this crowd.

                              One of the criteria I'm using personally is songs that make me think back to specific moments in my life and Shiny Happy People never fails to make me smile no matter how shitty of a mood I'm in.

                              Still, I almost don't even think of it as an R.E.M. song as much as I do a B-52s song made with R.E.M.

                              • Cuyahoga was a strong contender for my next pick.
