[Irishteen]

Where's the poll?

The thread gets posted before the poll

 

[nielsgov]

When i opened the thread again the poll was there so I've changeed my post.

 

[digitize]

Five. I'm not a big fan of this song at all.

 

[An Cat Gav]

10. This and One Tree Hill have always done battle for my fave Joshua Tree song, One Tree Hill won that battle, but Red Hill Town will always be in my U2 top 10.

 

[gman]

10 from me too! Just a fabby toon!

 

[MilotheMayor]

Ten
One of Bono's best vocal performances.

 

[bigjohn2441]

on JT? 10

 

[Vlaco]

9

 

[Zoots]

I would say 9. It is excellent but I like it slightly less than say, I Still Haven't Found or WOWY or RTSS or One Tree Hill etc.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

7. It's pretty good but not JT's best.

 

[Irishteen]

The band were right to never play this live, if Bono can't hit the highs in this song it'd fall flat, kinda Pride like in that way. Anyway it's an 8 thanks to the vocals

 

[LemonMelon]

150. One for every canary released in the music video.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

9. Brilliant vocal.

 

[Saracene]

6. It's just ok.

 

[cobl04]

zoots hit the money there. great song, but it just isn't up to the other classics on jt. i gave it an ate.

also i want to say i'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that streets isn't our #1 anymore

 

[Irishteen]

i gave it an ate.

I gave it a drank

 

[Axver]

TEN. Second best song on the album.

 

[gvox]

I'm only rating it a 9 because I don't want Streets to slip. Fucking great song. The whole album is, save Trip.

 

[mikal]

7. i like it. it's that song that glues side A and side B and does a good job.

 

[The Sad Punk]

6. Pleasant, but lumbering.

The clip, on the other hand.

 

[purpleoscar]

10. Love the backing vocals.

 

[JCOSTER]

10

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is a 10.

Again, Bono really delivers on this album. Great vocal, great lyric from the pompous midget Irishman that we all love.

 

[AnnRKeyintheUSA]

Oh good I see you all have great taste. I was afraid I was going to see a bunch of ones and get pissed off.
