Title is self-explanatory. 

I’m not a mega-fanboy of these guys, but I do enjoy them. I have Murmur, Green, Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster, and New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Of these my favorite is probably Automatic and my least favorite is probably Monster. 

So, any other peeps willing to admit to being a fan?

I like them on occasion, they have quite a few really good songs.  

Fun Fact #1 is that the first CD I ever purchased was Murmur.

Fun Fact #2 is that they played at my college when they were still nobodies and I didn't go Sad

Haven't updated this in a while, but these are these are some of my favorite REM songs:

I like them well enough. Good melodies.

As with a lot of bands, most their better songs are deep cuts.

I went looking for a good CD collection of their best songs and they are all disappointing in some way.  
The most recent one is from 2017 called "Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982-2011."   
All songs are supposedly hand-picked by the band.

But...it doesn't have "Cuyahoga" or "Pretty Persuasion."  That's just crazy!  
No "Superman," "Bang & Blame," "Losing My Religion," and others.

I didn't think it would be that hard to find something decent for a band like this.
The various David Bowie comps have the same issues - obvious songs that are missing.
