Best u2 song that never was released as a single!

[POP-ROMANCER]

Zooropa from zooropa!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

The Refugee/Red Light

Would have been a killer Double A-Side in the vein of We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions

 

[ultraviolet7]

Gone - is there any doubt?

 

[beau2ifulday]

Gone. Absoutely. I can't believe that they released so many singles from 'Pop', yet still managed to overlook one of the best songs on the album.

 

[Halup]

I'd have to say Bad.

 

[the rockin edge]

Bad, Bullet The Blue Sky or Like A Song, I just can't decide

 

[the tourist]

Heartland. Or New York.

 

[innocent_eyes]

In a little while, kite, seconds, do you feel loved, bullet, bad, wire...heartland,

lemon was just a video right???

 

[miss becky]

Acrobat

 

[Halup]

Lemon was a regular single in Japan and Australia and a 12 inch only single in the US.

 

[zoopop]

The Refugee/Red Light

Would have been a killer Double A-Side in the vein of We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! That single would have transformed U2 into rock gods before the Joshua Tree. I'm glad they didn't because their heads might have gotten too big and called it quits.

Gone

It should have been the first single off of Pop then Discotheque.

 

[andyuk]

kite or bad without doubt!

 

[boosterjuice]

Until the End of the World!!!

end of discussion!

 

[Harry Vest]

Bad
Gone
Like a Song

 

[sallycinnamon78]

Bad. Definitely.

 

[popacrobat]

until the end of the world or do you feel loved

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Bullet The Blue Sky, Kite, Red Hill Mining Town. They are among my all-time favorite songs.

 

[Axver]

Way too hard to decide.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Bad! But I'm glad they never tried. Imagine a 4 1/2 minute version? Yikes!

 

[djerdap]

Acrobat

 

[L03VIk]

1. Kite
2. Gone
3. Acrobat
....
The list goes on....

 

[knox]

Bad would have never worked as a single.

Wire, on the other hand, would have been awesome.

 

[Bonochick]

Gone. Absoutely. I can't believe that they released so many singles from 'Pop', yet still managed to overlook one of the best songs on the album.

Agreed.

 

[bw in dc]

Off the top of my head - One Tree Hill, Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World, and Sort of Homecoming.

 

[AtomicBono]

Was UTEOTW a single? I could swear I've heard it on the radio before... but I guess that doesn't mean it was actually a single. If it wasn't, then I'd say UTEOTW, or Gone. Or Acrobat. Or Do You Feel Loved. Or...well, there's a bunch, actually.

Best song never released on an album is easy enough though - MERCY.

 

[Aygo]

Bad, Gone, Do you feel loved, Until the end of the world, Tomorrow, Twilight,... so many...

I think almost of all songs could be a single... They're all great songs, and with a good commercial releasement they could be good singles.

Stay cool

 

[phanan]

Bad and Gone.

 

[U2_Muse]

Gotta go with Bad and Gone, too.

 

[the tourist]

Heartland. Or.... No, nevermind. No or. Just Heartland.

 

[Axver]

To offer some clarification:

- UTEOTW was released as a promo to radio but was not an official single.
- One Tree Hill was a single in NZ (and I think Australia). I have a copy of the 7" NZ vinyl so I am pretty sure about this one!
