[Oregoropa]

Bass Trap (not very memorable)

 

[prbiker15]

Fast Cars.

 

[Axver]

A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel until it's gone.

Bass Trap (not very memorable)

Awful opinion.

 

[kiwilad]

Bass trap for me too... when i can get to a laptop

Sent from my SM-G920I using U2 Interference mobile app

The non-album tracks get better the later in their career IMO.

Sorry, A Celebration. The fact that you were the only one had to listen to in order to recall was probably enough.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Walk to the Water. Never cared for it.

 

[Oregoropa]

A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel until it's gone.

Stays for now, because RH era is peak Bono vocals. Keeps that song interesting holding out some notes.

 

[intedomine]

Great work Namckur on running this. Love the statistical breakdown.

2shotzhappy, 1shotsadd.

Bass Trap looking in trouble though.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Hallelujah

 

[namkcuR]

Hard to pick one out of 30, but Disappearing Act I guess.

So, there's a few minutes left in this poll, but I'm about to leave the house for a few hours and the outcome of this round is not in question, so I'm going to start the next poll a few minutes early.
