Just like the title says, rank the HTDAAB's tracks from best to worst, 1 being the best and 12 being the worst. Include Fast Cars, as it was on some of the releases. Keep in mind that ranking a song #12 does NOT necessarily mean you dislike it or think it's crap.

1.Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
2.Love And Peace Or Else
3.Original Of The Species
4.Fast Cars
5.Vertigo
6.One Step Closer
7.City Of Blinding Lights
8.Miracle Drug
9.Crumbs From Your Table
10.Yahweh
11.A Man And A Woman
12.All Because Of You
 
I'm sure this will be different shortly, but lately I've been loving all the songs I didn't like at first and am really bored of the songs I loved at first.

1. Sometimes
2. City of Blinding Lights (Fell in love with the paino, still hate the cheesy chorus)
3. Yahweh
4. Crumbs From Your Table
5. Vertigo
6. Original of the Species
7. Miracle Drug
8. All Because of You
9. One Step Closer
10. A Man and a Woman
11. Love and Peace or Else (was originally my fav. song)
12. Fast Cars
 
Right I'll have a go -
1. Love and peace or else
2. Original Of The species
3. Vertigo
4. Miracle Drug
5. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
6. One Step Closer
7. Yahweh
8. All Because Of You
9. Fast Cars
10. City Of Blinding Lights
11. Crumbs From Your Table
12. A Man And A Woman

And the final 2 are in the final two places cos yes I do think they are crap hehehe.

Also Miracle Drug is the song that has risen the most in my listing but I still think its a song that U2 could do in their sleep.

And why is that? It was an album track on the limited versions of the record.
Well, which do you consider the final track from ATYCLB, Grace? Or the tacked on bonus track The Ground Beneath Her Feet?

Fast Cars is a bonus track, it should not be considered with the rest of the album. OOTS > Yahweh is amazing. Yahweh is the natural closer just as Grace was.

1> A Man And A Woman

Cuz seriously, lets face it, it's the newest u2 we've heard in awhile. and it's the most inquisitive. listen to that bass. it's literally disgustingly awesome. everthing else we've heard before, not saying everything else is bad **outstanding in fact** but this track is unique and refreshing. u2 in motown. I love it.

I agree up to "...ly awesome". :down:

The drums on that song are crap. Larry sounds too much like robot. The bass can go poo on it's self, because the rest of the song blows. :rant:

Favorite Songs:
1. All Because of You (Good drums song)
2. Love and Peace or Else
3. Vertigo

Good Songs:
4. City of Blinding Lights
5. Miracle Drug
6. Fast Cars
7. Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own

Decent Songs:
8. Crumbs From Your Table
9. Original of the Species
10. Yahweh
11. One Step Closer

Make-Me-Puke Song

1. MIRACLE DRUG
2. Sometimes you can't make it on your own
3. City of blinding lights

the top 3 are constant and in that order but the rest change around every now and then.....
and A man and a woman always brings up the rear
 
wow you rate 'sometimes' very high.

Here's mine:

1. Love and peace or else
2. Original of the species
3. Miracle drug

btw I also think fast cars is a bonus track so this song should not be included. It was not on every album, it's added as a bonus in some countries.

Someone needs to average out all the ratings by everyone, to see how our "official" rankings go. This is more effective than the "voting off one by one method", which ends up being a "what song does everyone dislike least" contest. This would actually give an accurate representation - 12 points for 1st, 11 for 2nd, and so on.
