Part 5 of this thread (rules are available there).
Nearing the end, and the results have been somewhat surprising - all the choices left are from Murmur, Fables of the Reconstruction and Lifes Rich Pageant. There was a tie between “Pilgrimage” and “Driver 8”, with “Pilgrimage” winning the coin toss (where were you, delphica? You could have been the tie-breaker!). So here are the final 4:
Radio Free Europe VS. Feeling Gravitys Pull
Pilgrimage VS. Fall On Me
This round will close on Tuesday, March 25 at 7:00p, PST.
Feeling Gravitys Pull
Pilgrimage
The first pair is hard for me. I like Radio Free Europe a lot but it doesn’t have as much of an impact on me as it did when I first heard it five or so years ago, whereas I haven’t listened to Fables of the Reconstruction a whole lot and don’t remember Feeling Gravitys Pull too well but remember that I really like it. I’m going with FGP because it’s the one I’d rather listen to right now and it’s the underdog.
I was visiting my mom for Easter! And on the trip back, I did wonder if I had missed the latest round of REM voting.
Feeling Gravitys Pull
Pilgrimage
I sort of agree with **Talon Karrde **-- I think Radio Free Europe is a more iconic song for REM, but I find that personally, I enjoy Feeling Gravitys Pull more when I hear it.
I love both of these songs, but I’m a bit bummed that neither of the two favorites from Document pulled through. “It’s The End Of The World As We Know It” and “The One I Love” are the songs that say “R.E.M.” to me the most.
