GOOD ADVICES
The information in this list is to be understood as described below: (Refering to the columns Pop Song / Live / Recd / Maps & Legends):
Pop_Song:______ |
"Name of song (Composer of song)". Songs in bold letters are written by (Berry)/ Buck/ Mills/ Stipe unless otherwise noted. We have furthermore tried to find all the composers of cover songs and songs from side projects. Behind "Paint it, Black" you will therefore find (Mick Jagger & Keith Richards) and not the performing artist (Rolling Stones). Sometimes, the composer and performing artist are the same. | ||||||
Live: |
"First time (year)" it is known to us that R.E.M. performed this song live. In "Maps & Legends" you will find: "Live (year)": and the name of another artist. This means that the live column refers to this artist and not to R.E.M. "Live also (year):" means that the live column refers to R.E.M. and info in "Maps & Legends" to other live appearances by side projects including R.E.M. or members of R.E.M. | ||||||
Recd: |
"Recorded (year)" refers to when this song was recorded by R.E.M. Regarding side projects, it may indicate the year it was released. "Recd (year): Name of artist" in "Maps & Legends" means that this song was not recorded by R.E.M., but by the side project. "Also recd (year)" therefore means that both R.E.M. and the other artist have recorded this song. | ||||||
Maps_&_Legends: |
A lot of the R.E.M. songs have appeared under different titles, i.e. working titles or, because the songs have been played live before they were recorded and therefore unknown to people, the audience have given these songs their own names. This was common in the first years of R.E.M.'s excistence. Both, or more, names are in this list, with "known as:" refering to the official title of the song and "also known as:" refering to the working title. | ||||||
