1. City of Blinding Lights - My username, and avatar, and, if I had a sig, it would be in there I just adore this song.

2. Kite - Fantastic song, awesome chorus, dedicated it to my grandfather.

3. The Ground Beneath Her Feet - Great song, I love how it just explodes at 2:30 and the mysterious feel behind it is awesome as well.

It boggles my mind that people list B-sides and rarities here. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but it's still really surprising that such rabid U2 fans would choose songs that the BAND doesn't even think deserve to be chosen to put on albums, much less released as singles.

I guess it shows there's nothing more subjective than artistic taste!

I think it shows how awesome U2 are. I mean, come on, an UNRELEASED track is on many people's top 3!

Mine:

Mercy
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Original of the Species

and Beautiful Day just missing the list.

No. It shows that Bono is smoking crack these days.

Maybe if The Edge or Adam were allowed to speak their mind and let their true feelings out, we may actually get these great songs on an album. Maybe.

I thought it was Larry who made the final desicion to cut Mercy from the album.



edit: I just realized I'm a New Yorker now.

Oh, did he? Well, I'm not surprised. After all, Larry is known to be disappointed with Pop, right?... only one of the greatest albums of the 90s!




Congratulations on becoming a New Yorker btw!

yeah, and some of his best work too

Mercy has Bono written all over it, it was one of Bono's favourites, which leads me to believe it will show up somewhere.

 

[cobl04]

I'm thinking about deleting Mercy from my computer.
