Good picks for REM, though I always liked “Drive” most over their other bigger hits. It was released as a single, but it was overshadowed by all the other Automatic songs and isn’t on any of the greatest hits albums.

And yes to Nirvana’s “You Know You’re Right”. Not their best, but most people don’t consider it a real Nirvana song even though it’s great. (But their best is the Unplugged cover of “The Man Who Sold the World”).
