Whenever we rank openers or closers, I always have to make 2 lists. One where I simply rank the songs, favorite to least-favorite, and another where I rank how well the song closes (or opens) its respective album.

Ranking of the song itself:
1) Love Is Blindness
2) The Troubles
3) All I Want Is You
4) Yahweh
5) Cedars Of Lebanon
6) 40
7) Grace
8) Mothers Of The Disappeared
9) MLK
10) The Wanderer
11) Wake Up Dead Man
12) Is That All?
13) Shadows And Tall Trees

How well each song serves as a closer:
1) Love Is Blindness
2) The Wanderer
3) 40
4) Wake Up Dead Man
5) All I Want Is You
6) Is That All?
7) The Troubles
8) Grace
9) MLK
10) Mothers Of The Disappeared
11) Shadows And Tall Trees
12) Cedars Of Lebanon
13) Yahweh

1. 40 (How anyone can rank this below 1 is beyond me, it's the PERFECT album closer!)
2. Mothers of the disappeared
3. Yahweh
4. The Wanderer
5. All I want is you
6. The Troubles
7. Grace

not bothering with ranking any of the others, I don't really think any of them are great closers

You deserve to be banned for that post.

 

[LemonMelon]

When I really think about it, yeah, that's a pretty terrible opinion alright. Most of their best closers aren't on there.

I've always thought that album closers was one of the things U2 were best at and the new album proves that again.
Very tough to do this list as all but one (maybe two) are songs that I really love.

1. All I want is you
2. Wake Up Dead Man
3. The Wanderer
4. Love Is Blindness
5. Mothers of The Disappeared
6. The Troubles
7. Cedars of lebanon
8. MLK
9. 40
10. Theme From Let's Go Native
11. Shadows and Tall Trees
12. Grace
13. Is That All
14. Yahweh

 

[Musikwala]

Their best closers are Love Is Blindness, Wake Up Dead Man, Mothers Of The Disappeared, The Troubles, All I Want Is You and 40.

The worst one for me is Yahweh. Even worse than Is That All.

 

[liamcool]

It's obviously Salome (Take 9)

Lol, calm down dad. Why do I?

 

[pop marter]

40 must be top of the list, hard to beat.
