GTA series are great to out great music like this, someone Who doesn't know music can know It through videogame. Also i love GTA 4, i was in middle class school when he got It out, also the story Is my favourite, more Better that GTA 5, very Deep.
I'm old enough to have followed and loved REM from the beginning and all these years later I am still listening to their stuff.. and I can now answer the question as to the best REM song and album. Finally, I can declare that Turn you inside out and Green is the best.. hands down. Unrivalled and still as fresh today as back in 1988 when I was 20 years old.
I’m a few years behind you… and I remember being like 12 and trying to explain the meaning of their lyrics to my boomer mom, to a blank stare. Honestly , it had more to do with her lack of appreciation for music than her age. REM will always be the sht. 💜💜
Well said, Green is R.E.M., but Out of Time is their best album... despite Losing My Religion, which is a solid song, but it's global popularity made it too well known for this R.E.M. fan. I'll never be able to settle on my favorite song of theirs, due to the sheer quality of their catalog and the range of human emotions, I find myself needing a different song each day. But thank God they existed, I couldn't have gotten through high school without these guys. Thanks for listening to me ramble. Happy Holidays to you and your family. God Bless.

People always talk about Michael Stipe when they mention REM, but honestly I think Peter Buck has always been so cool, not to mention super talented. What an amazing group though--Please come back!😢
Yeah..I am 58 but can scare some young ones bc they know I mean it. I will challenge them 2 try me Anyone that was there in the mid 70s will tell u we are the best at " head games". We play them so well my niece still sweats.. she is 26. She will tell u she has learned quite bit. Never show ur hand. Always play chess or be good enough at checkers that those who can't play chess are bluffed n2 thinking u can. BTW..I can play chess.. just don't have the patience unless I am tripping the " champion up". Lol.
REM are still great. I do miss that unique sound from the drums that Bill Berry managed to do, but I rejoice that I have the CDs, DVDs and UA-cam vids and that the band still lives and rocks.
This was filmed at a little hole-in-the -wall club that is called the Caledonian Lounge now but was the 40Watt in the 80's. I loved that club and went there once or twice a week for years. The cover charge was usually $1 and PBRs were 0.75 cents a can. I lived within walking distance and usually didn't bother to check what band was playing. In '89 I went to see a band just because it had a vulgar name. I walked to the club but then walked on by. Next day I read that the band was actually REM.
I listened to to this song while dancing on the hotel room radiators way back in the 90's during my high school All State festival adventure. Oh yeah, fun times...
This is a seminal moment in our cultural evolution. The song and the Vid. This marked the last, best statement before the advent of the PC/ Internet age.Learn to withhold, technologies, and media never stop. but what you choose is the message.
One of the greatest bands of all-time. I really miss them! This song and the whole of the Green album really brings back lots of fond memories for me. It still sounds so fresh and relevant today too.
Sometimes a great band transcends the industry itself and becomes even greater then just a awesome band, influencing future culture and generations to come, without REM there would never have been the evidence and proof that diy alternative could prosper, REM walked so many could run and indeed fly
Saw rem in concert for their green world tour in 1989 in the bay area northern California. Smack in the middle of my college days in a uc campus. Every song was like its meant specially for you. The venue had such electricity. I will never forget that night. Document and green were during my college days and i believe they were some of the finest work songs of REM

Took me a while to realize that this is both a remake of and a sequel to "Finest Worksong". I already knew that Green was more or less a direct continuation of Document, but the choice to do this lends another interesting touch to Green that evokes a sense of self-awareness to said continuation.
Does this song remind anyone else of Finest Worksong from Document? The beginning before the chorus sounds exactly like it. Not hating I absolutely love both of those songs and with R.E.M.'s enormous catalog it would be almost impossible not to have any repeats.
I heard this song years before I decided to check out REM's back catalog, in chronological order of course. When Finest Worksong started, my first thought was that this song sounded like it.

This is timeless rock. This will always sound amazing.
Killer track from one of America's greatest bands
Whenever I play GTA IV, this plays on the radio
One of my favourite R.E.M. songs - best band ever!
In my humble Opinion this is one of the best Songs in the Green Album. I like their Rock side
my fave is untitled named on the cassette 11.
Jason Barbush that’s my absolute favorite of the album. It’s heart-wrenching that not so many people know such beautiful song. It’s a hidden gem.
I used to listen to this when I was commuting to college in 89. My fave song on the album.
this one is in the "what-a-song!!!"! category. The originality, the details....How they're missed..!!
Minha música favorita do GTA IV, que é meu jogo favorito depois do GTA Vice City
"Green" is my favorite album and this is slowly becoming my favorite song from it!
Mine also. I loathed Reagan.
No doubt about this song Kicks some major ass!
Me too Green is above all others. Like a lot Monster too, too underestimated.

Michael's so awesome. Greatest singer,greatest dancer, greatest lyricist. Best performer ever! ❤
People always talk about Michael Stipe when they mention REM, but honestly I think Peter Buck has always been so cool, not to mention super talented. What an amazing group though--Please come back!😢
Peters guitar is so beautiful and abrasive on this track
This is one of those songs that make you fell like a bad ass.✌✌✌
Yeah..I am 58 but can scare some young ones bc they know I mean it. I will challenge them 2 try me
Anyone that was there in the mid 70s will tell u we are the best at " head games". We play them so well my niece still sweats.. she is 26. She will tell u she has learned quite bit.

True.
@@nancydeloach4342 i can play chess but i usually lose😊🤛
Really Exquisite Music (REM)
i always forget how great this album actually was..
+Mike McIntyre More opportunities to rediscover it, then. :o)
yet not their best !
Automatic for the people was the pinnacle...imo.
@@halfbee123 So many great albums from these guys. One of the great American rock bands.
His dancing makes me so happy, he's a boss
😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏
💋💝💕I love the way he dances around. He is sexy, and I love his voice. He is a great performer
Given the choice Given the heart Given the tool Given the word Given the cheers !
Michael Stipe has some serious clogging ability. I haven't seen anyone clog as well as this since I was in Kentucky. Clogging is a dance btw
It could be the millionth time I've listened to this song and it is just as awesome as the first! Great song, great album, great band!
Still listening to it? lol
@@georgewashington9173 Yep! At least twice a day! LOL!
@@georgewashington9173 YES!
I've been a diehard REM fan since I first heard the Green album.. in '89.
an ultimate song to reason any generation to invest into peace instead of chaos
How am I just seeing this fucking awesome video??? They were amazing & not like any other band out there, even to this day.
This is my go to song.
REM are still great. I do miss that unique sound from the drums that Bill Berry managed to do, but I rejoice that I have the CDs, DVDs and UA-cam vids and that the band still lives and rocks.
This and strange currencies should be on the top 10 of their music. That's what I think
I grew up in the 70's. This is a rocking badass song.
Happy Birthday today(January 4) to Michael Stipe. Cheers!
I believe in REM music. Love the old video. Michael Stipe is great with his moves around the floor. 🕺
I feel REM represents gen x well
Amazing guitar tone! Simple and so powerful.

can't play this song loud enough. TURN IT UP!!!!!
I love you R.E.M !!!!!!!!!
Once upon a time a band named REM played Rock and Roll music. They were very good at it.
Ugh. They put people together. And poke them with a stick. And they wonder why we ain't There
THIS
Such a great song, sends shivers up my spine!
EVERY TIME! Bests, dtf
Green is underrated, sandwiched between Document and Out of Time
I listened to to this song while dancing on the hotel room radiators way back in the 90's during my high school All State festival adventure. Oh yeah, fun times...
This is masterpiece
Fav REM video ever. Fav REM song as well.
I love this song has the best music
The first 2 minutes & 20 seconds of this video is breathtaking. Michael is a performer & the audience at the same time.
Had this album since High School, and now all of a sudden I hear this song again, and now I've played it out all weekend
Folk rock psychedelic sublime wall of sound. The new-world whirling dervish.
rem proving they can play hard rock with the best of them Love it!

What a classic 120 Minutes MTV video! A+! :-) I-) : )
Great Song !!! I knew this beauty playing GTA IV !!! Nice days !!!
One of the greatest bands of all-time. I really miss them! This song and the whole of the Green album really brings back lots of fond memories for me. It still sounds so fresh and relevant today too.
World Leader Pretend

Sometimes a great band transcends the industry itself and becomes even greater then just a awesome band, influencing future culture and generations to come, without REM there would never have been the evidence and proof that diy alternative could prosper, REM walked so many could run and indeed fly
Getting into R.E.M. after Monster came out and worked my way back. I think Green is the 2nd album I got.
Best Band EVER
I love this song. It's got a good beat and good lyrics
"Hey Niko, its your cousin Roman. Lets go out and have some drink".
Was it in GTA 4?
johan aceves medina indeed
MrAsaf1984 ?
Martin Conway it's a quote from the videogame gta 4
cheers...

Such an underrated song! I can't believe this video doesn't have more views!
My girlfriend says this is one of the 10 Most Orgasmic Songs of all time. 😮
We need the 80's n 90's back !! \m/

I can't ever get this song loud enough. Neighbors don't agree.
REM brought me here

It was included in a fictional radio station called Liberty Rock Radio from the game Grand Theft Auto 4. It's on youtube.
El baile de stipe es un poco alocado,pero hace estilo con la música y su voz . Voz que me gusta
GTA IV memories 🥺❤️
This video made REM one of Mt top 3 bands of all time.
This song expresses what a lot of people could do, but don't.
Exactly..but what I choose. ..not ....to ...doo
How many of you at an age to remember when this song came out.
R.E.M.’s Rattle & Hum moment
The way how he spins around at the end. I fricking love that
Michael's hat is cool.
Wow michael stipe is so young and energetic
Liberty City Rock Radio
wow, never seen this before. only on tourfilm. very powerfull song.
the dancing at the start though
Love the band the song and the video

Always excites me when this comes on gta iv. I still play that game to this day and I always will

Absolutely, always has reminded me of Finest Worksong, and like you said, both great songs so not a bad thing :)
"Self-plagiarism is style."
lol. I actually came here from finest worksong. Variations on a theme, sound-wise, like Turn You Inside Out is the second verse of Finest Worksong.
I heard this song years before I decided to check out REM's back catalog, in chronological order of course. When Finest Worksong started, my first thought was that this song sounded like it.
Nope
Damn, Michael knows what the STYLE is. It's a pleasure to watch him. As besides to his music talent, sure
