I just did my statistics GCSE exam, and failed it. So i can safely say I hate statistics!

Yahweh would be much higher if the live version didn't totally blow the album version out of the water.

It's hard to say, after nearly two years, I am not exactly sure what I think of the songs. They just seem like fragments of a bigger and better picture, that's about the best way I could say it at the moment.

I love Native Son, so Vertigo is probably #1, then I love ABOY alt. so I'll go with ABOY 2nd. OOTS and COBL are songs that have translated very well outside of the shackles of the production. LAPOE and Crumbs are pretty good rock and roll. I don't care much about the rest, Sometimes was a lost opportunity.

The rest of the songs belong in the trash bin and in no particular order. Done live, these songs become pretty good but on the album they are horrid.

Sounds like ATYCLB to me...:scratch:

We should do that thread next! :dancing:

I can't believe you'd make that comment and yet rank SYCMIOYO #1. If any HTDAAB song needs to be binned, it's that boring, plodding number that isn't nearly half as emotionally powerful as it would like to think it is.

1. City of Blinding Lights (bad production but still the best track here, awesome)

2. Vertigo (overplayed but who cares, it rocks)

3. Miracle Drug (great song, but it just could have been so much better)

4. All Because of You (great rocker, people really hate it here, i love it)

5. Sometimes.... (I think it is a little dull but the song has personal meaning for me)

6. Crumbs from Your Table (good song, great guitar, a few great moments)

7. Love and Peace or Else (so much better live, then again...great music and AWFUL lyrics by Bono, so cliche)

8. Original of the Species (i NEVER listen to the album version, strictly live, great song)

9. A Man and a Woman (mood song, when im in that mood...its great. otherwise, i just listen to adam's bass)

10. One Step Closer (liked this when the album first came out, got a little boring to me now).

11. Yahweh (never got into it that much. has a couple moments, but the acoustic live version is better).

Good to great record. Has a collection of really good songs, but it's "strong" songs don't compare to ATYCLB.,
