Last week, we asked Rolling Stone readers to name the best television theme song of all time.

This week the rock world was knocked for a loop by the announcement that the indie-defining band R.E.M. was calling it quits after more than 30 years together. Our question for you is: What is the best R.E.M. song of all time?

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
