Worst U2 song of the decade

[stagman]

1 Miracle Drug
2 Crumbs From Your Table
3 Peace On Earth
4 Get On Your Boots
5 The Hands That Built America

 

[thelaj]

In no particular order:

• All Because of You
• Crumbs From Your Table
• The Hands that Built America
• Wild Honey
• One w/ Mary J. Blige

Though I'm not sure One and TSAC should be on here.

I refuse to include One w/ MJB because I have repressed it entirely and do not wish to have more of the therapy bills I had to pay in order to do so in the first place.

So my worst are in order:

3) Unknown Caller (sacrilege I know, but aside from Edge's solo, it seems like a b-rip of Walk On with worse, tacky chants and lyrics)
4) Cedars of Lebanon (same lines as #1. Just not enough melody or substance to hold my attention)
5) Man and a Woman (love the rhythm section, but song just does nothing for me otherwise)

UC and Cedars and Man/Woman -These songs are just phenomenal.
For me at least

2. A Man And A Woman
3. The Saints Are Coming
4. Elevation
5. New York

Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Kill Me is the worst song of all time, I can't even hear the beginning.

OK, whatever.. I listen to it on repeat. Saints makes me jump up and do spastic dance

1. Stuck in a moment
2. One with MJB
3. Grace
4. One step closer
5. a Man and a woman

Even over Beautiful Day and One - which I love, love everything about -
Stuck in a Moment is absoulutey my favorite track.

1 Miracle Drug
2 Crumbs From Your Table
3 Peace On Earth
4 Get On Your Boots
5 The Hands That Built America

Crumbs and Hands are songs I never skip off their respective album.
Peace on Earth is a mantra for me.

I am addicted to EVERY SINGLE TRACK on NLOTH.
I haven't done this since, JT, AB and POP, UF.

Speaking of the Unforgetable Fire, I can't even put in a category with anything else. I'm in love with it.

Sorry, What was the question?

Based on this list, the winner is Grace. However I just counted each song, independently of its order of appearance.

All That You Can't Leave Behind has 6 nominations in the list.
How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb has 7 nominations in the list.
No Line On The Horizon has 3 nominations on the list.

Remarkable: the only songs from these 3 albums, not mentioned at all are 'Kite' and 'No Line On The Horizon' (You see, it should have been a single!). Also 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' was not mentioned.

Mercy

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

Have mercy about mercy

Have mercy about mercy

It has potential but as it is the lyrics are placeholders and the moaning at the end is pretentious.
