11th for Hawkmoon, my god...

A five from me, overlong, kinda boring, but not as bad as all that.

 

[Saracene]

3. One of R&H more embarrassing moments.

 

[digitize]

Seven. Perhaps I'm overrating it because this forum loathes it, but I think it's pretty decent.

 

[2861U2]

8. Great song.

 

[Ronnie269]

Wow , I guess alot of people on here have alot of mixed feelings about R&H,

I cannot stand the album, but this is one of the songs on it I don't mind.

 

[2861U2]

Wow , I guess alot of people on here have alot of mixed feelings about R&H,

I love it. It's my favorite 80s album, U2 or not. Only flaw is Heartland.

I agree with the first half of your comment, great album!!!
But Heartland!!!! One of U2's finest songs ever for me!

 

[powerhour24]

Yeah the R/H hate on here is overpronounced as far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with this song, it's not the pinnacle of creativity, but it's not embarrassing, it's a fun little trip into Americana with Bob Dylan, and for what it is I enjoy it.

 

[digitize]

I find the lyrics pretty well-written, for what they are.

 

[nielsgov]

Boring as hell. 3

 

[intedomine]

Somewhat atrocious, 2.

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

I think it's a good perfect 3. Could've been so much more with the initial verse.

 

[Vlaco]

6 for the studio, don't think it's that bad. The 26/12/1989 Point Depot version in fact, is amazing. Bono's vocals and Larry's drumming are superb.

 

[powerhour24]

I find the lyrics pretty well-written, for what they are.

Agreed.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Not as bad as so many people here say, U2 have done far worse songs than this, most of them quite recently.

 

[God Part III]

#11 for Hawkmoon 269?

Preposterous. 4 for Love Rescue Me.

 

[65980]

This is one of my favorite U2 songs. I can't honestly give it a 10, but I'll certainly give it a 9. (For those calling this song "embarrassing", I'd like to know what your criteria for embarrassing music is.)

Heartland, AIWIY, and the occasional AOH/Desire/LRM/God Part 2 for me.
