Refugee or Rejoice?

[hasin73]

Which song has most playful Larry drumming? IMO, the honour has to go to
Refugee for fantastic drumming by Larry at the middle part of the song. And
i think Refugee is the only song where Larry outshines other band members.

What's your opinion, my friends?

I can't quite remember the drumming in Refugee of the top of my head, so I'll go with Rejoice, cos it kicks ass anyway.

 

[Aardvark747]

Too easy.

Rejoice, of course. One of their most underrated early songs, that features one of the most rocking endings in a U2 song.

The Refugee is shite.

Rejoice is quite possibly Larry's single best showing in the band's history. In fact, all the band members perform well there. Fantastic tune.

 

[JCOSTER]

Rejoice

 

[The Sad Punk]

I'd have to go with Rejoice too. A wonderful song, although I like Refugee too.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, I'd like to add that Refugee really is a pretty solid song, despite all the flak it cops. Bono really throws himself into the song and it has some quite powerful drumming, though I personally enjoy the Rejoice solo more than anything from Larry in Refugee.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Rejoice is better...

Drumming in "Like a song" is not bad...

 

[pepokiss]

yes, LIKE A SONG!!!

 

[U2girl]

Out of these two, Rejoice, easy.

SBS is the one where Larry pwns.

 

[flybabe]

Both are my all time favorites. I love Like a Song,it is so powerful just like Surrender

 

[Rosebud]

Rejoice, hands (and feet) down.

 

[luna_lovegood]

Refugee. Larry kicks ass.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Definitely Rejoice. Though any opportunity to state how great the refugee is, is a great opportunity.
Two great songs.

 

[hasin73]

The score so far: 2 to 13 against Refugee. At this speed, it is going to be the mother of
all defeats.

 

[intedomine]

I actually prefer Refugee over Rejoice.....contrary to popular opinion, I think there are many songs better than Rejoice on October, and several songs worse than Refugee on War.

Cracking tunes though.....

 

[CutterC]

Glad to see Rejoice getting some love, it's a great song

 

[youtooellen]

Rejoice is awesome.

Refugee is awesome.

I say Rejoice, but every time I listen to Refugee, I can't help but think about SNL's episode with Christophere Walken.... "I gotta have more cowbell."

 

[Simon_DK]

I'd say Rejoice. I think it's the most powerful of the two songs, and has the best drumming, and that's what it's about...

Anyone care to take a stab at what on earth is The Refugee about? Meaningless lyrics.

I think it's about a refugee but I'm not one hundo on that.

I think it's about a refugee but I'm not one hundo on that.

Do you think she might want to live in America? I have a sneaking suspicion she wants to live in America.

She's a refugee that wants to live in America?
