With REM, they tend to play a good chunk of their current release as well. And while they may always play Losing My Religion and Everybody Hurts, that is only 2 songs out of 24+.
Besides, although not at every show, there is a good chance you will hear either Bull In The Heather or Kool Thing at just about any SY show you go to. So it's not that uncommon to mix in a "popular" song on a regular basis.

You're right, sorry for my english, I cant' explain very well
I've seen three times Rem, three Pj. Five sonic youth. I like sonic youth because every their tour is completely different to each other. I could say that I've seen five different shows of Sy. Rem and Pj not. Great difference, of course: Rem and Pj play everytime 2 hours and 23-24-25 songs. But I remember one final song for Rem (It's the end of the world) and the same setlist for every date of the same tour. Pj are a great band, my first love but... great energy... play entire catalog... and so there are no surprises! The very very surprise of a pj setilist it'a new cover. I've seen them last time in turin, they played all the avocado album, nobody in the audience like this show... but for sy it's a normal thing...
My mistake: talks about and compare three bands that i like and I know, and not talk about u2 and their setlist with bono that talk with astronauts...
