Rate the Song Series: Elvis Presley and America

[Irishteen]

Same as ever guys, rate the song based on whatever you want and you have a day to do it

 

[mikal]

10. bitches.

 

[Chill Mike D]

It's a great song.

 

[gman]

gave it a 9. love the acoustic geetar on this track. Dunno why

 

[nielsgov]

Big fat 0. I've never understood a word of what Bono's singing and it's just a stupid song.

 

[bono_212]

Before this gets any further. to most of you!

 

[youarenotimmune]

i dunno how the U2 fanbase in general feels about this song, but i personally love it. this is THE song i listen to lying in bed on cold, wintery nights.......very surreal song!

 

[LemonMelon]

U2 wanking to what they perceive to be their own genius. Lots of wonderful pieces here, but there's no excuse for that vocal. None. And there's no excuse for this being over 6 minutes long with no real climax either.

Could be better, but isn't. 6.

 

[digitize]

Hmm... seven. I really enjoy it when I listen to the album (which is pretty often), but I have no desire to listen to it ever as a single.

 

[xtrmx]

I really enjoy this song

 

[cobl04]

guess who struck it right again.

hopefully you can all stop drooling just for a moment so that this song doesn't end up with a much higher score than it deserves. seven tens?

5

 

[coolian2]

you fucking ingrates.

NO CLIMAX?!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN! , My heart, she breaks.

 

[coolian2]

snerk.

 

[bono_212]

snerk.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

nine.

i'd have given it a ten, but i'm trying to reserve that for the songs in my top ten. i'd rate this song more like a 9.5.

 

[coolian2]

my mind doesn't leave the gutter

 

[bono_212]

It only dawned on me after I made that post that some might have found....humor...in it.

 

[LemonMelon]

I will concede that was not the wisest wording on my part.

 

[bono_212]

I'm probably not the best person to have commented on it either.

 

[Axver]

Great song, love the way it meanders through the UF era's gorgeous atmospherics. Passionate conclusion too. Love how it feels blurry and out of focus. 9.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

8. A goodie.

 

[An Cat Gav]

10. bitches.

correct answer. one of my faves ever. i fucking love it.

 

[Rob33]

this song is fucking amazing....I'm sort of regretting not giving it a 10....

 

[Axver]

For a song so routinely slammed, this is stunningly good polling.

My only disappointment is that it's beating ISS, an even more exceptional track.

 

[youarenotimmune]

Love how it feels blurry and out of focus

well put
