These IMO are key REM songs.

I give you.....


Uberlin
Chorus and the Ring
Falls to Climb
Find the River
Be mine
Hairshirt.
Me in honey

Anything else I'm missing?  I don't really like It happened today which  might be an obvious pick.

South Central Rain - the way the urgency builds and then resolves in the last half a minute or so is terrific.

though, curiously, you can't cheat and skip to the last half. it's all about the build-up.

To me that's the most repetive R.E.M song there is. It's just the same from begining to end isn't it? That's how it seems to me a/w.

Great call Charky.

It's a non REM song but I always lovely the way The Velvet's 'The Murder Mystery' builds from an unexciting begining to something quite beautiful.
