Please rate Salomé on a scale from 0 to 10, using whatever criteria you feel allows you to best evaluate the song as a whole. I will not set criteria for people to based on, but if you feel like your best evaluation of the merits of a song comes from voting only based on, say, the studio version, go right ahead and vote that way.

Have fun! This poll will close in 96 hours.

It may not be the Zooromancer remix, but still. That bassline. Shake it, shake it! And then whang, guitar kicks in. Love Edge's vocals too!

6. Not a huge fan of this song but it's still alright. As GG said, the Zooromancer remix is where it's at! That remix is a 10.

 

[lazarus]

It's a lot of fun.

 

[An Cat Gav]

It's a lot of fun.

Robert Plant's favourite so it can't be bad.

Lot's of fun, sexy too.

Whenever U2 say "shake" it's generally pretty great, this, A Celebration! I hope there's more shaking on the next album!

easy 10, love the remix, and only recently discovered the original which is very gorgeous

 

[The Panther]

Haven't heard this one for years... listening to it now. Has a lot of the guitar and rhythm of 'Zoo Station'. It's a cute and fun diversion, but very much a B-side.

 

[Aardvark747]

Meh. 5

 

[gvox]

My vote is based on Zooromancer remix, U2's only truly natural sounding house/dance track imo.

 

[nielsgov]

It's fun yeah but nothing special. 6

The Zooromancer mix kicks major ass. I love the original too, it has a sense of humor mixed in there somewhere and it's just a fun song. 8.

 

[prbiker15]

Fun song, really good as well. The original gets a 7 for me, but the Zooromancer Remix....wow, that gets a 10.

I'll be rating the original version, though. Shake it, shake it, shake it, SALOME! 7.
