October 4: REM - Rarities and B-Sides, 1988-2003 

Disc 2 of the greatest hits makes up for some of the things missing from Disc 1: You get alternate versions of "Drive," "Pop Song '89" and "Turn You Inside-Out." But out of 15 tracks, only five of them are actual songs that aren't available on other albums, and of those five, one is an instrumental and one is a bizarre excursion into techno that is laughably bad. And do we need TWO demos of Reveal songs? There is a very nice acoustic "The One I Love," though, and that almost makes up for it.
