Favorite part of least favorite song

[europop2005]

whats your favorite part of your least favorite song...there has to be one...a riff...a sound...something (oh and please dont say something like "I like the part when its over")

for example...I can't stand Miami... but once the guitars die down theres this cool little electronic sound about 2 minutes into the song...just swelling up and down

 

[pgv]

I like the part when its over

I don't really have a least favourite u2 song, but there are some I don't love as much as the others. I don't like peace on earth that much, but I do like the line "Hear it every Christmas time, but hope and history won't rhyme." I don't really know why, it's just cool.

You realize you're talking about 2 different songs there, right?

I meant peace on earth.. don't really like wild honey that much either though!

 

[Zoots]

I think Love And Peace Or Else is worse than both. Horrible title. The most cliche U2 chorus ever! But I do like the "release release release" parts where the drums kinda explode into the chorus.

 

[U2Man]

last night on earth

but i do like the little intermezzo "slipping away..." part.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Miami... don't care much for the song, but the line "Freshmen, squeaky clean / she tastes of chlorine" is hot.

 

[gherman]

Numb

The part where Edge stops in the middle of the song and the litle synth. toot thing comes in.

 

[annie_vox]

Desire... Sometimes I like the "for love or money money money money" part...

 

[The_acrobat]

Least favorite song is Big girls are best.

Favorite part of song... Musically, this song is pretty groovy. However, Bono's lyrics make this the worst U2 song ever.

 

[silvrlvr]

Best line in least favorite song Yahweh:

Take this shirt -- polyester white trash made in nowhere.

 

[Liesje]

Instrumental/Edge solo part of Mysterious Ways.

 

[mandrake]

I like Lemon until it drags on...

 

[Axver]

There's nothing I like about Elvis Ate America at all. But some people don't consider it a U2 song, so here's the likeable parts of the U2 songs I loathe:

Ultra Violet: a few good lyrics here and there and Edge's guitar line has potential.
TTTYAATW: "A man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle"
One: the live "do you hear us coming?" verse is fantastic.
Stuck In A Moment: Edge's verse at the end.
In A Little While: the "rocketship" verse.

 

[1stepcloser]

I dislike Some Days Are Better Than Others quite strongly, however Claytons bassline is pretty good, i have to admit.

 

[waynetravis]

I like Lemon until it drags on...

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

TTTYAATW: "A man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle"

I believe it's actually "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" but you are right, best part in the song.

Stuck In A Moment: Edge's verse at the end.

Agreed, I especially like the acoustic version...

The only one I can think of right now is SATS, it has a mixture of cringe worthy (IMO) lyrics: "There's an Insect in your ear..." and one of my favourite sets of lyrics:

Intransigence in all around
Military's still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle.
God is good but will he listen?
I'm nearly great but there's something missing.
I left it in the duty free,
Oh, though you never really belonged to me.

I took this off of U2.com btw so if there are any errors, talk to them...

 

[corianderstem]

I can safely say that there is nothing I like in Red Light.

I like the gentleness of Grace, but it's not enough to carry the whole song.

 

[Carmelu2fan]

"A man and a Woman" is not one of U2's best songs, but I love Adam's bass line.

 

[phillyfan26]

Hmm... what is there good in Babyface? Nothing I can think of at the moment.

 

[Axver]

I believe it's actually "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" but you are right, best part in the song.

Is it that obvious that I haven't listened to the song in about two years?

Hmm... what is there good in Babyface? Nothing I can think of at the moment.

How did I forget about that! My goodness, that song sucks.

 

[Salome]

If God would send his angels



the intro doesn't make me cringe

 

[u2thewho]

"From the brightest star/ Comes the blackest hole." in Crumbs, a song which otherwise has no redeeming value whatsoever.


I actually kinda like Babyface.

 

[xaviMF22]

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true?
I believe in you

Elevation sucks in general, but I love that part

 

[LemonMelon]

The chorus of Is That All isn't too bad.

 

[Axver]

The chorus of Is That All isn't too bad.

And it has The Cry's riff.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Absolutely no part of The Refugee can save it from being a flaming pile of crap, absolutely nothing.

Absolutely no part of The Refugee can save it from being a flaming pile of crap, absolutely nothing.

1. Drum solo

2. That cool slide riff
