Great shout. I can think of three REM city songs and one of a river and national park. You chose the best if only for for interesting change of vocalist.paulbaconsarnie said:Odyssey-Native New Yorker (admittedly with a bit of license).

Make that five/six although I don't like the first and the second is imo the worst song they've ever written.JiMMy 85 said:Georgia On My Mind - Ray Charles

Mostly filmed in London but a little bit of the old Foleshill area of Cov is shown as well as Horace's driving. I seem to recall that the Top of the Pops video did show a significant amount of the Broadgate centre in Cov though.Alwaysneil said:
Great song, pretty sure virtually none of that video is filmed in Cov thoughLennyLowrent said:

Christmas in Capetown.
Randy Newman
Not an easy song, but I believe an important one with Newman painting a painful picture of time and place. His choice of the persona he adopt as a story teller is uncomfortable but effective.
The video quality isn't great too but the energy of this performance is the reason I chose it.

I think Mike Mills on lead vocals were very underused.jimmymelrose said:

Near Wild Heaven is one of my favourite tracks and the acoustic version of Love Is All Around on MTV unplugged set is fantastic.0 -
