These are U2 songs I dislike

[BigMacPhisto]

What the fuck is this

Garbage. And not the good kind filled with Butch Vigness.

 

[cobl04]

They're all great songs anyway, but you call Please garbage? The fuck outta here.

 

[Axver]

What the fuck is this

Clearly a terrible mistake. The first two were obviously intended for a Best Songs on Boy thread, for instance.

 

[Aardvark747]

I dislike none

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I lost track of who hates who on this forum these days, and who is being sarcastic.

I think Boots and Elevation might be the only two songs I don't like.

Stuff like SUC is negligible and while it might be a total failure of a song, I don't cringe when I hear it.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Oh yeah. I was just reminded of Big Girls Are Best. That song is terrible. I can't listen to it and not think Bono is a chubby chaser, despite what the song is really about

 

[digitize]

Glastonbury. In my mind, it makes SUC sound like Streets.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Red Light
Babyface
Grace
Yahweh (album version)
Crazy Tonight (album version)

Acrobat - Any fan that says "...if you don't like this song you're not a true fan" is obviously not the TRUE fan. It sucks...and I think they realise this too seeing they haven't attempted it apart from rehearsals. To me it sounds like a drunken Irish ballad. It's the only song that I dislike Bono's voice and Edge's guitar (Larry and Adam sound good though). Maybe I'm crazy but I've just never dug it.

With or Without You - Ghastly and overrated love song. Somewhere in my mind I can agree with it around the Joshua Tree, Lovetown and Zoo TV tours respectively...but from Popmart onwards that song stinks live and has therefore ruined it for me.

I've only seen 360 live, but WOWY was as chilling as any if you ask me.

 

[Galeongirl]

SAINTS ARE COMING.
*drops mic and walks off*

That's not even a U2 song

[dabiggestu2fan]

Grace is one of the songs I absolutely can't listen to! I really dislike it a lot!

 

[corianderstem]

Diemen actually does hate me. Why, back at the Chicago 2009 show, he totally crushed me just with one step, like a giant crushing an ant.







.... I mean, it wasn't on purpose. He's just so tall and I'm so short.

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

And I used to hate Mercy but it has grown on me over the last couple of years!

 

[corianderstem]

Original songs from the albums that I consider to be kind of lame...

I know, right? Isn't it truly gross and awful to think that anyone might be attracted to someone who isn't a size zero?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Now, I never said that.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, it's just funny to imagine that Bono likes chubby women, because ha ha, what a funny concept?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

It's a pretty silly thing to sing about, yes.

Could you imagine a song called "Skinny Girls Are Best?"

 

[corianderstem]

But you said you know the song is truly about his pregnant wife, so ....

I'm not trying to make a big thing about this and browbeat you for pages, but I just wanted to point out that making a joke about someone being a "chubby chaser" is pretty lame.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

AND YET I KNOW THE TRUE MEANING! Which is why I said "even though..."

Whatever, I'm not funny anyways. In fact, it's not funny *because I* said it.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, you're not getting my point. Or something.

Whatever, you're not funny anyways.

[MrPryck2U]

I dislike none

Exactly!


There are no U2 songs that I dislike/hate.

 

[Diemen]

.... I mean, it wasn't on purpose. He's just so tall and I'm so short.

But on the plus side, I was able to find joyful in the death march.

 

[corianderstem]

Ha! Bless your tallness.

Cori, you keep doing the Amy P. gif's..... I can't concentrate on my work now...

[Blue Room]

Original songs from the albums that I consider to be kind of lame...

- Hawkmoon 269
- Silver and Gold
- God Part II
- Crumbs From Your Table
- Original of the Species

Wow, completely disagree on these, two of these Hawkmoon and God Part II are dream songs to hear live again for me. Edge's guitar tech Dallas encourages Edge to play God Part II every tour as well.

I guess this thread just shows why U2 has such vast appeal and why it is difficult for U2 to come up with a setlist that will please anyone!
