heartland zzzzzzzzz goodnight!
How is it godawful? It's barely even there. It certainly doesn't detract from the listening experience.
I don't think the Hawkmoon organ comparison holds, partly because, as you say, the organ is harmless. The RTSS twangy intro sounds horrible, clashes with the style of the rest of the song, and detracts from what should be a beautiful opening.
How does the slide guitar at the beginning clash with the rest of the song? It, along with the harmonica, is a staple of American folk music, a style U2 were very much into exploring at the time, and a style that RTSS was very much steeped in. Besides, it's not as if the intro is the only part of the song featuring either; the outro does as well.
It feels like the start of an entirely different song. It's not integrated at all. Twangy intro ... then beautiful piano. It's like it shouldn't even be there.
Come on people! Vote for RTSS!!
