Yeah, Spanish Eyes is quality from start-to-finish while Kite has fat that needs to be trimmed.
LemonMelon said:
Such as?
Spanish Eyes barely sounds finished to me.
Axver said:
Everything in Kite up to "I want you to know" is terribly mediocre. The fake strings intro is hideous.
Spanish Eyes has some of Edge's best chiming guitar, Bono gives a great performance, and it's just an immensely catchy track, one of U2's very best songs. But you and I already know we don't see eye-to-eye on this one.

I have no idea why we can't agree on this one, but I guess we can't. You preferring the fluffy track over the atmospheric ballad is surreal.

Looks like god is a Kite fan

At risk of being scolded by a mod, it's stuff like this and the great altar voting scandals of earlier rounds that make me think polls should only be accessible to people with over X posts.

I wouldn't call Kite atmospheric, I like it a lot but it's definitely the more fluffy of the two musically, though it has much more meaningful lyrics. Spanish Eyes is much more atmospheric, which makes sense; it comes from the more atmospheric era.

LemonMelon said:
I've never thought of Spanish Eyes as atmospheric, especially not for that particular time period, but I can see that. Kite feels incredibly warm to me. It's one of the few 00's tracks that has any sort of atmosphere to it. New York and One Step Closer are the others.
