Rank the album closers

[Layton]

Just for shits and giggles, I thought I'd rank the album closers. Feel free to criticise and throw your rankings into the ring, also.

1. Yahweh
2. Wake Up Dead Man
3. All I Want Is You
4. Love Is Blindness
5. The Wanderer
6. Mothers Of The Disappeared
7. MLK
8. Grace
9. 40
10. Is That All
11. Shadows And Tall Trees

 

[AtomicBono]

Hmmm if this is anything like the Heal/Hurt game then All I Want is You, Wake Up Dead Man, and Love is Blindness are apparently equally brilliant...

1. Love is Blindness
2. Wake Up Dead Man
3. All I Want is You
4. Yahweh (alternate version is even better)
5. Shadows and Tall Trees
6. Is That All (nice to have an upbeat closer for once)
7. 40 (classic.)
8. Mothers of the Disappeared
9. MLK
10. The Wanderer (fantastic lyrics, the music is so-so)
11. Grace (boring!)

 

[I'm Ready]

1.Love is Blindness
2.All I Want is You
3.Wake up Dead Man
4.Shadows and Tall Trees
5.40
6.The Wanderer
7.Yahweh
8.Mothers of the Dissapeared
9.Is That all
10.MLK
11.Grace

 

[U2DMfan]

1-All I Want is You
2-Love is Blindness
3-Mothers of the Disappeared
4-40
5-MLK
6-The Wanderer
7-Wake Up Dead Man
8-Yahweh
9-Grace
10-Is That All?
11-Shadows and Tall Trees

I really like the first 7, and I like the alternate version of Yahweh, the last 3 songs on this list can be thrown in the garbage bin. I'd probably put Let's Go Native before Grace.

[Exit thru Wire]

TGBHF and Fast Cars are the final tracks on my copy so...

1. All I Want Is You
2. The Ground Beneath Her Feet

4. Love Is Blindness
5. 40
6. Wake up Dead Man
7. MLK

If Grace were included it would come last
If Yahweh were included it would come below MLK above Is That All

Looking at that list...U2 sure know how to close an album - all brilliant.

The first 3 are pretty much interchangable. I have to say, after the first 5 or so, I don't really love any of those songs that much.
