Baby,This Honey's For Me

#34 Out Of Time: R.E.M. R.E.M., like U2, settled in very well to superstardom, coming out with a trio of albums in the 90s that were both good and popular, allowing them to cash in on their early critical success. As long as I can pretend that Shiny Happy People doesn't exist, this is the best of that era. Me In Honey (duet with B52s Kate) is one of my favorite songs of the 90s.

As far as I'm concerned, their first three albums (Murmer, Reckoning, Fables) are as good as any classic rock record...but unfortunately I can't say the same for their later stuff. These guys should have called it quits a long time ago.

I agree with Brian on all counts but I do really love the song Me In Honey as well.
