This is a tough one, but I'll go with Acrobat.

Tough choice, but I went with Original Of The Species.
And actually, I love the word "penultimate." Every time I get the chance to use it appropriately, I do.

I very nearly put in the question field "hint: answering Original of the Species is not acceptable".

There's at least 5 options here that trump the entire track 8 list.

I love Acrobat but I like Breathe even better.

Oh shit I forgot about Please and Acrobat.
And if they had used the original ATYCLB track list, When I Look At The World would be up there as well.

I actually legit love EPAA. There's something about that song that no other U2 song really has.

When I Look At The World would be up there with Acrobat, in my opinion.

Absolutely. Totally free form inspiration.
I didn't vote for it, but it's in my top 3 or 4 among these.

The live version of Please is one of the five or so greatest things U2 has ever done, but the album version is more like a demo. This is difficult.

It's weird how many of the least favorite tracks were in that eight spot.

I love this thread, btw. A lot of these are my favorite songs.

That song has...moments...but...it's also very painful...at the same time.

It's very easy for me to pick because this song is my all-time favourite U2 song:
ACROBAT
ACROBAT
Tyagu_Anaykus
New Yorker
Acrobat, for me :=)
SpiralStaircase
War Child
Exit. Was obvious even before I looked at the poll what would be WAY out in front and it's a fine song but Exit gets to a place sonically and in terms of overall feel where very few songs by anyone at all do, for me.

They sure have their way with penultimate songs. Acrobat, Exit, Dirty Day and Please are all fantastic songs.

The album version of Dirty Day sounds lifeless to me.

Your face is lifeless.
The live version is a billion times better, I'll give you that.

I'm surprised The Electric Co. has no votes yet, given how popular it is here and how well it usually does in Survivor. I guess putting it up against the likes of Acrobat doesn't help.
And yeah, studio Dirty Day is lifeless and has a shit vocal take. Live Dirty Day is one of U2's finest moments.

I voted for Acrobat.
Could of easily picked Please or Exit but the studio versions of both those songs pale in comparison to their live versions.
