Overrated/Underrated Songs

[Bunbury]

When Loves Comes to Town is one of my least liked songs on Rattle & Hum

 

[~*Buffalo*~]

Overrated -

Grace ... ohhhh U2, I don't like this song at all, but everyone else seems to love it!

As for underrated, a lot of my favourite U2 songs would fit on that list ...

Tomorrow
October
Like a Song
Drowning Man
A Sort of Homecoming
Red Hill Mining Town
In God's Country
Ultraviolet
Acrobat
Do you Feel Loved
When I Look at the World
New York
Ground Beneath her Feet
and (especially) The Hands that Built America

Overated

Beautiful Day
ISHFWILF
Pride
New Years Day
Lemon
Sunday Bloody Sunday

I just wish these songs were'nt so overplayed on the radio, I still like them all. BTW, Streets, WOWY and AIWIY, One and Desire deserve to be played often.


Underated

Until The End Of The World
God Part II
Acrobat
Ultra Violet
Spanish Eyes
One Tree Hill
A Day Without Me
Out Of Control
Kite
Gone
Last Night On Earth
Miami
Elevation
Please

I know I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this, but IMHO Beautiful Day is by far U2's most overrated song. I still remember my initial reaction to it - And my opinon of it hasn't improved a whole lot over time.

You're not the only one - I also think Beautiful Day is U2's most overrated song.

I just can't get into it in the same way I love Streets, Heartland, One etc.

To me the tune isn't really there - it lacks a killer hook and vocal line.

Just my opinion but in my eyes Beautiful Day is very, very overrated.
