[2861U2]

Window In The Skies beats them all, but Electrical Storm is a close second.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

saints doesn'y count?

 

[corianderstem]

For the moment I have to go with Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix).

Window might overtake it at some point, but it's too early to tell.

 

[Bean Skidds]

Sweetest Thing was really great live during elevation tour, but I have to go with Window in the Skies. I would prefer a less clunky song title, but the tune is amazing.

 

[gherman]

Window in the Skies. Becoming a favorite of mine fast.

 

[gherman]

I would ask what is the best song on the U2:18 disc?

 

[roy]

Easily Window In The Skies IMO.

 

[U2Man]

WITS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sweetest Thing & Electrical Storm combined.

This shouldn't even be asked.

imho.

 

[JCOSTER]

I love Electrical Storm...but lyrically I would say WITS.

 

[U2freakboy]

It's definitely WITS! The Sweetest Thing would be second for me.

[Lancemc]

Window in the Skies for me by a long shot.

But am I the only person who prefers the William Orbit mix of Electrical Storm over the Rock mix?

 

[U2girl]

Window
S. Thing
Hands that built America
E. Storm the B-sides disc band version
E. Storm Willam Orbit mix

 

[Niceman]

They're all strong tracks, but Window in the Skies is the best.

 

[Zoots]

WITS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sweetest Thing & Electrical Storm combined.

This shouldn't even be asked.

imho.

That doesn't sound like a humble opinion to me.

Well... WITS is still new and everybody is still raving about it. Ask the same question in 6 months or 1 year's time and the answer may or may not be the same.

Anyhow, Electrical Storm is my favorite right now. Good lyrics for the most part, except for the truck line. And I love that guitar! Sweetest Thing will probably be a close second for me. WITS is good but too repetitive I feel. Maybe it'll grow on me.

 

[U2Man]

I would smack you, if it wasn't your birthday.

Window in the Skies for me by a long shot.

But am I the only person who prefers the William Orbit mix of Electrical Storm over the Rock mix?

i don't mind it. put my vote up for that one.

 

[corianderstem]

But am I the only person who prefers the William Orbit mix of Electrical Storm over the Rock mix?

Nope. I'm an Orbit girl myself.

 

[Vlaco]

Window in the skies definitely, but Electrical Storm is also really great in my opinion. They should play it live, really great guitar work by Edge.

 

[Galeongirl]

WITS
Hands that built america (dunno why, but I love it!)
ES rock mix
Sweetest Thing
ES William orbit mix



Still the original Ullrich Mix beats the crap out of the other two ES mixes!!! Why oh WHY didn't they go along with that one?????

 

[FredReis]

The original ES Ullrich Mix that you're talking is the very first version of Electrical Storm ? The one sent as a birthday present to a DJ and aired on the radio ? I called the POP version...I just love that version...

There's a vibe of that those great B-Sides that U2 did, but worth put in any album...for me it's better than the Orbit Mix (that I also like but is too slow in the beggining for me).

Window In The Skies
Sweetest Thing

[shart1780]

The regular Electrical Storm.

 

[alanah]

Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)
Sweetest Thing
The Saints Are Coming
The Hands That Built America
Window In The Skies

 

[The Slow Loris]

1. Window in the Skies
2. The Sweetest Thing
3. Electrical Storm (Orbit mix)
4. Electrical Storm (rock)
5. The Hands That Built America

'The Saints' doesn't really count IMO since it's not a song U2 wrote. But if we were to include it, it would be #5 and 'Hands' would be #6.
