what New York track is the best?

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
1) Angel of Harlem
2) City of Blinding Lights
3) New York

It's not long ago that I never would have dreamt to put "Angel of Harlem" at the top of this list, but I've just recently revisited R&H and I'm lovin' it now.
 
You forgot Indian Summer Sky.

1. New York
2. City Of Blinding Lights
3. Indian Summer Sky
4. Angel Of Harlem

I know. I was being silly in response to Headache's question.

i'm all for the sentiment 'Ask a silly question and you get a silly answer', but headache's question was hardly silly, there's nothing "Mysterious" about 'City of Blinding Lights' at all, it's just another case of people throwing fancy words around...
 
edit: never mind. I'm far to cranky after 27 straight days of rain to be attempting responding to things online.

Isn't Surrender also inspired by or at least set in New York and maybe even Red Light? Maybe Red Light is part Amsterdam, part NY. I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure about Surrender. So if AOH qualifies for being set in NY, then Surrender should qualify, also.

1. COBL because it's the most passionate of these choices
2. NY because it's full of artfullness
3. Surrender because it slowly simmers
4. AOH because it's too damn poppy for me
5. ISS because I'm not sure if it's inspired by NY. Even so it's a flatliner. One of U2's few flatliners.
 
Bono says ISS is about New York in the
Nantes concert of 1984-10-23.
"This is a song about a city; New York city, called Indian Summer Sky"
