What would have been U2's biggest song if they had have ever released it?

[LuvandPeace1980]

A tough one but I would probably say Gone

 

[Chizip]

Miami

 

[Axver]

Bono singing Happy Birthday to his brother when he was 10.

 

[discotech]

Mercy

Nah I think it would be "Why don't you go outside and play hide and go f**k yourself for hi-Jacking my thread"

 

[MacPhistoPT]

One Tree Hill

 

[Axver]

One Tree Hill

They did release that, and I believe it was #1 in New Zealand for a while.

 

[LuvandPeace1980]

Yeah but New Zealand doesn't count..
yeah thats right

 

[typhoon]

Mercy

That took three whole replies.

You guys must be really disappointed with yourselves.

 

[blueyedpoet]

i was just thinking tonight how Gone could've been a huge single

 

[bono_man2002]

Yeah but New Zealand doesn't count..
yeah thats right

I reckon.......Until The End Of The World

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Yeah, I know... maybe that was the right thing to do because it is a NZ song. But if it was released all over the world it would surely be a classic these days for the non-diehard fans just like Streets or SBS.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

I reckon.......Until The End Of The World

Yeah!...

Besides One Tree Hill... UTEOTW, A sort of homecoming, Tomorrow, Running to stand still, Ultraviolet, Gone and Kite are the most obvious...

 

[DignityPassesBy]

Acrobat ... theres something about this song that even for non-u2 fans makes them listen an take notice

Agree with that, definately one that had the potential to be big.

Until The End Of The World and Kite would also have gone down well I reckon.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Yeah!...

I know i've seen the video for A Sort of Homecoming on TV, and lemme check U2wanderer.org...



hm, a promo. So I guess that puts it in the same boat as Until the End of the World. Pseudo-single?

 

[U2girl]

Gone/Kite - either one of those.

 

[popacrobat]

fast cars/ red hill mining town

 

[gareth brown]

Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[Numbology]

Acrobat
Love Is Blindness
Gone
Zooropa

 

[financeguy]

Another vote for Red Hill Mining Town for me. Great song that.

 

[LMP]

Bad

 

[1stepcloser]

I think In A Little While would have been huge if they had released it. it's such a great pop song, really catchy.

 

[joerags]

Some Days are Better than Others

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

Zooropa definately!

The intro would need to be shortened though

 

[Z00rop@83]

bad/zooropa/love is blindness/ lady with the spinning head !!!!

 

[youtooellen]

Red Hill Mining Town
Bad
Until The End of The World

red hill mining town

 

[LuvandPeace1980]

I forgot about Kite. I always thought that was going to be a single..

 

[U2DMfan]

I think Ultraviolet was a single.
Maybe not their "biggest song" but a hit single, methinks.
