What would you title an R.E.M. anthology/greatest hits/box set spanning their entire career?
My thoughts:
Can't Get There From Here
A Thumbnail Sketch, A Jeweler's Stone
For a b-sides comp, I would call it:
"Catbutt aka The Wrong End of the Cat: R.E.M. B-Sides and Rarities"

What would you title an REM anthology or box set?

had it been released before Reveal I think a great title would have been
R.E.M. - From Chronic Town to the Great Beyond
..and it would include only my favourites. :)

How about "Rapid Eye Movement" or "Cans of Piss, the history of R.E.M", the title would finally get used for something.
Peter would appreciate "Love and Squalor"

Suffers the Dreams
Posted 14 June 2001 - 07:00 PM
It's got to be something understated and simple and short and catchy. Perhaps a snippet of lyrics from a good song. Here are some ideas.
<i>These Words</i> [from Strange Currencies]
<i>River</i> (or something to do with water... a lot of Stipe's lyrics have to do with water, flow, etc.)
<i>Bad Poetry</i> [from At My Most Beautiful]
<i>Pop Skill</i> [from Imitation of Life]
But hopefully the title would be something that nobody would never have come up with. =)

But if I cut you out and find that you are paper thin?
Can I use you to light me and stoke the fires in my mind?
For you may start and not finish if I find that I exceed you
and the limited dimensions that you mask. - Stephen
