REMurmur's REM Greatest Hits

I've been writing a lot about R.E.M.'s greatest hits album, In Time, recently. I've noted the arguments about including All the Right Friends on it. I would go even so far as to say there should be arguments about Animal and At My Most Beautiful. And while I'm on it, why The Fly (lyrics) was not on U2's second best of in place of ..... Gone. That was an absence more notable than waking up without the ability to spell U2.

So here's my take at a "Modern Era Best of R.E.M." - No surprises here! I've limited it to 15 songs only. The links take you to the liner notes by Peter Buck that were included on the In Time release

13. Stand
14. Orange Crush
15. Losing My Religion16. Shiny Happy People
17. Drive
18. Man On The Moon
19. Everybody Hurts
21. What's The Frequency, Kenneth?
22. Bang & Blame
23. Strange Currencies
23. E-Bow The Letter
26. The Great Beyond
27. Imitation Of Life
28. Leaving New York
29. Supernatural Superserious

What would your modern era REM best of include?
