"Pretty Persuasion" is a song by R.E.M. that was first released on the band's 1984 album "Reckoning".

 According to R.E.M. biographer Tony Fletcher, it is often regarded as "the 'archetypal' R.E.M. anthem".
"The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was influenced by the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", both in the title of the song and through the song's opening refrain.
 (SongFacts writes, "Rather than follow industry practice and simply pilfer the song, R.E.M. paid for the rights to use it.
 As part of the deal, R.E.M. were asked to do a cover of the original "Lion Sleeps Tonight".)
 The band used "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" as the B-side to this song.
 The song was released on R.E.M.'s 1992 album "Automatic for the People" and was later released as a single in 1993, reaching number 17 in the UK Singles Chart.

R.E.M. was an American rock band that formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980 by lead singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.
 One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Stipe's particular vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, and Mills' melodic basslines and backing vocals.
 R.E.M. released its first single—"Radio Free Europe"—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.
 The single was followed by the "Chronic Town" EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records.
 In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, "Murmur", and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio.
 Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love".
 The group signed to Warner Bros.
 Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.
"The Great Beyond" is a song by R.E.M. It is not featured on an original studio album as it was written specifically for the 1999 movie "Man on the Moon" but was released as a single the following year for support of the film's soundtrack album.
 The single reached #3 in the UK singles chart in January 2000, the band's highest ever placing in that country.
 The unedited version is included in two R.E.M. compilations: "In Time - The Best of R.E.M. 1988-2003" and "Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982–2011".
 On the "Man on the Moon" soundtrack, there is some dialogue from the movie at the end of the track; meanwhile, the single version is a radio edit, with the bridge omitted.

 The song did reach #6 on the UK Singles Charts, making it the eighth top 10 for the band in Britain.
 The song also became R.E.M.'s first number-one single in Japan.
