I didn't get that from reading the book.
can we please get back on topic? anyone wishing to discuss the book may do so here: Every Artist Is A Cannibal, Every Poet Is A Thief - U2 Feedback
i'm surprised that more people don't have the complete utter disdain for babyface that i do.

Babyface.
See, for me, 'Babyface' is one of those U2 songs that's entirely average -- neither exceptionally good or bad. It's just sort of there. I'm kind of baffled as to why so many people hate on it.
(Before you say, "It's creepy!", can I just add that's it about the most obviously ironic lyric they've ever done, as per everything they were doing at that time.)
I wasn't going to say it's creepy. I was gonna say it sucks.
i'm surprised that more people don't have the complete utter disdain for babyface that i do.
also, considering as we've done countless polls and battles about what the best u2 song/album is, perhaps we should do one for the WORST song to see exactly what u2 fans think is the cream of the, um, shite.
that still pisses me off, btw.we have. it was Viva Davidoff.

how the fuck was the that interference's pick for U2's worst song?
yeah i just listened to it on youtube for the first time
Passengers
the problem was once you got to passengers, so many people on here haven't heard the album or have only heard ms and maybe ybr. and i mean that's fine, i'm not ragging on people for that. buuuuuut i wouldn't go and vote on an album having only heard the hits/mainstream tracks. so there were tons of people voting and only a fraction had actually heard the entire album. and then the b-sides rounds were just as bad because again, people would only vote for what they'd heard.yeah i just listened to it on youtube for the first time... how the fuck was the that interference's pick for U2's worst song? it's better than about five songs on Passengers alone.

so add passengers song + b-side = omg it must suck.
viva davidoff isn't some amazing piece of work but like you said, there's at least a few songs in u2's repertoire that are worse.
the most recent survivor i did, while turnout was comically low, was more representative i think just because you didn't have people click and run. if you have to make a post, or even worse (like my most recent one) take the time to e-mail or pm, people who don't rcognise every track most likely won't bother.
Well, that's intelligent. And witty. Color me impressed.
...so we can get a top 10 list of shite.
Do we really want to set our goals this high?
i say we do it again but only with albums and major releases, i.e. movie singles, greatest hits add ons, etc.
b-sides and passenger songs are cheating.
perhaps even take the two least favorite songs to the final round so we can get a top 10 list of shite.
what intelligence is needed to say that i think a song blows? i find it to be a terrible, god awful piece of monkey crap that makes my ears hurt.
