What songs do you think is the most rocking in the REM repertoire? Burning hell? The wake-up bomb? Departure? Toys in the attic? These days? Star 69? Kenneth? Trash metal?

Most rocking R.E.M. songs are:

All the Right Friends(new version)
Begin The Begin
Wake Up Bomb
Burning Hell is a riot.  I love that.
MS to Me: Where else could antelopes jump off tall buildings and submarines be fueled by melody?

Most rocking songs....what about:

Let Me In (not fast, but with so much overdrive pretty hard for a REM song)

Leave

But I can also agree with Star 69, These Days, Begin the Begin etc.

Finest Worksong. The whole song is something that gets me going.

Let me in. The guitar sound is heavier than ever.

Begin the begin, and especially live versions of it are great

In terms of urgency you can't beat Begin the Begin
but for all out noisiness it has to be Kenneth.
