The Joshua Tree Vs. All That You Can't Leave Behind

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
1. Streets over BD
the best U2 song ever vs the best song on ATYCLB, good matchup
2. Still Haven't over Stuck
SHF was a great song until the choir bullshit, Stuck eats it
3. WOWY over Elevation
WOWY is an old tired song, it's still 1,000 times better than Elev.
4. Bullet and Walk On TIE
Bullet used to be one of my 10 favs, Walk On is #2 on ATYCLB
5. RTSS over Kite
Both great songs, RTSS is timeless
6. Red Hill over In a Little While
Red Hill is a great song, IALW sounds like U2 covering someone
7. IGC over WIld Honey
In God' Country is a great great song, Wild Honey is good
8. TTYW over Peace on Earth
TTYW is the worst song on JT, but better than POE
9. One Tree Hill over WILATW
A great song vs a song that could have been great, almost
10. Exit over New York
new york is an ok song, Exit rocks the fucking house
11. MOthers over Grace
Grace is the worst song on ATYCLB and Mothers is beautiful

Joshua Tree 10
ATYCLB 0
Tie 1

This would have been 11-0, but I am a little tired of Bullet.

Not really a fair comparison, a better comparison is POP.

This is so fucking stupid. Comparing these records, it's like saying sex in the missionary position is better than girl on top, or any other position.

A comparison of this nature is probably best left off of this forum - surely there are more appropriate ways to get your point across.
 
1. Where The Streets Have No Name or Beautiful Day? STREETS
2. Still Haven't Found... or Stuck In A Moment? STILL HAVEN'T FOUND
3. WOWY or Elevation? WOWY
4. Bullet The Blue Sky or Walk On? WALK ON
5. Running To Stand Still or Kite? (very difficult, these are the best song of each album. But I?ll chose RUNNING)
6. Red Hill or In A Little While? IN A LITTLE WHILE
7. In God's Country or Wild Honey? IN GOD'S COUNTRY
8. TTYW or Peace On Earth? TTYW
9. One Tree Hill or When I Look At The World? WILATW
10. Exit or New York? (again... I LOVE these songs) EXIT
11. Mothers of the Disappeared or Grace? GRACE

Joshua Tree :)

Cause I mentioned sex?

Sex is not a taboo subject, but as I'm sure you are aware, your comparison would be borderline inappropriate in most company. I found it offensive, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I greatly enjoy most of your posts - and you are able to make your point without offensive sex position comparisons.

Hello,

Last night I thought about this comparison:

Where The Streets Have No Name vs. Beautiful Day
Tie, both songs can't be played to death. Streets is U2's best live song ever, but in the studio there is no winner
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For vs. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
Stuck, never been such a big fan of Still Haven't Found (although the version on R&H is great)
With Or Without You vs. Elevation
Tie, the only part of WOWY I really like is when they go into overdrive on the live version (the 'stars' verse). Elevation is aural sex :p
Bullet The Blue Sky vs. Walk On
Walk On, the live version of Bullet is very good (the Zoo TV version is incredible), but the studio version doesn't have that punch. Walk On is just beautiful
Running To Stand Still vs. Kite
Kite, apart from the Zoo TV version RTSS is quite uneventful
Red Hill Mining Town vs. In A Little While
In A Little While, a personal favourite. I love Bono's vocals on it!
In God's Country vs. Wild Honey
In God's Country, as I really don't like Wild Honey, especially Bono's vocals on it :)
Trip Through Your Wires vs. Peace On Earth
Trip Through Your Wires, one of my favourites on The Joshua Tree and an underrated song
One Tree Hill vs. When I Look At The World
Tie, both songs are quite nice, but not too special to me
Exit vs. New York
Exit, high on the list of best U2 songs ever
Mothers Of The Disappeared vs. Grace
Grace, never liked the studio version of Mothers very much. Apart from one weak line Grace is wonderful

The Joshua Tree: 3
All That You Can't Leave Behind: 5
Tie: 3

So All That You Can't Leave Behind 'wins', not a surprise for me. Why? What u2popmofo said, I also think everything since the Nineties is better than their Eighties stuff and The Unforgettable Fire is U2's best record from that decade. :)

C ya!

TTYW is the worst song on JT, but better than POE


spot on!!

the only place where there was some fight is at ATYCLB's best song which is BD - unfortunately its pitted against the best U2 song.

or the worst JT song - unfortunately its pitted against the worst ATYCLB song.

that tie was a bit generous :)

so 11-0
