A local radio station had a good morning show that plays music. Shocking, I know. At the top of every hour, they have a thing called "What's The Point?" 5 songs are played and the listener has to guess the point of the 5. I'm currently working on 2 submissions for "What's the Point," and I need the help of the awesome Moggers.
My first submission idea is songs Taylor Hawkins has drummed on. I have 4 songs so far. I just need 1 more.
My second submission idea is song/albums that members of R.E.M. have played on. That comes from a trivia question I answered back in 1995. The same radio station used to have an super awesome afternoon show, and the DJ did "Trivia From Hell." I was reading Spin, and I half paid attention to the question. After the DJ helped me by enunciating members of this band, I finally got the question right. I kept trying to answer Mike Mills of R.E.M., and he just wanted me to say R.E.M.
But I digress. I have 3 songs from albums that members of R.E.M. have played on, but I need 2 more.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) I want to stump the listening audience one morning.

Foo Fighters - Long Road to Ruin (I could pick any song, but I love that song)
Alanis Morissette - You Outta Know
Coheed & Cambria - Running Free (he drummed on the whole album)
Eagles of Death Metal - I Want You So Hard [Boys Bad News] (he drummed on the whole album)

So yeah, that's what I've got so far.

THANK YOU!! You are my hero (as always)!! I looked and looked and looked for that info, but I suck.
And yeah, der, I have the frigging Placebo album that Stipe is on. See, this is what I get when I concentrate on my job more than other things in my life.

Ha, I love the photo on his Wikipedia page:
I thought I'd find some songs to help you out but you probably already tried there anyhow...oh well, fun photo is what I've got.

Buck also played live with The Thrills (who I hate) when they supported REM. I may have shouted "You look like their dad! You're too good for them!". Again, I blame drink. I also accidentally bit a guys ass that night.

Buck plays with Robyn Hitchcock and is also a "member" of the Venus 3, and do see it as a "proper band" separate from what Robyn does. Bill Rieflin former Ministry, and current REM drummer plays with them as well, so you can even give extra credit points for that, and of course, rounding out the Venus 3 is Scott McCaughey of Young Fresh Fellows.

Thanks! Now I have to figure out if the radio station would even have any Robyn Hitchcock or Venus 3 to play.

Berry, Mills and Buck played on Warren Zevon's Sentimental Hygiene album (1987) and also on Hindu Love Gods (1990).
Buck is also a member of Tuatara and played in the Minus Five with Scott McCaughey, who now tours with REM.
For all Buck's credits go to allmusic.com and plug in his name. Three pages worth including the Replacements and Mark Eitzel. I got to high five Buck after his set with Eitzel at a Seattle club a few years back.
