Oh god this is impossible. Losing my religion breaks the tie with the better video.

Two of my less favoured REM tunes.

Didn't know people loved Electrolite this much before this tournament. Vote for Losing My Religion

I goddamn adore Electrolite. I'd LOVE to see it win out. But I have to vote for LMR.

Electrolite is easily the best song from HiFi. And I love that album
Sucks how the second best song (So Fast So Numb) is getting beaten by a much inferior one as well.

I goddamn adore Hi-Fi. But I don't think either Electrolite or So Fast, So Numb would crack my top 5 from that record.

I dont know if I would enjoy Electrolite as much if it wasnt for its placement in the album.

HiFi is pretty messy (and I mean this in the most positive possible way), especially for an REM album (Monster is a lot fuzzier but still feels like a more organized album), and I goddamn love that. But Electrolite comes in the end and it's nothing like the rest of the album. It's a gorgeus and simple song that feels more like a throwback to Automatic for me. The contrast gives me chills every time.
