Interference's Top 209 U2 Songs, The Results Thread!

[Irishteen]

I demand a recount.

You can recount all 59 lists if you want

 

[Irishteen]

36. (64) Electrical Storm - 500.2

Yes, Bono a truck is heavy very good, another obvious fact you suck!

"U2 is stuck in a rut of citing U2 as their biggest influence. "

35. (57) The Ground Beneath Her Feet - 545.4

"just plain BAD BAD BAD. "

"An embarassment"

 

[bathiu]

35. (57) The Ground Beneath Her Feet - 545.4

listening now...

 

[Irishteen]

listening now...

Aren't you embarrassed?

 

[MMP]

36. (64) Electrical Storm - 500.2

But Elevation and Levitate at bad positions... Shame on you Interference, although I was expecting that I guess.

 

[Irishteen]

34. (39) Mofo - 577.6

"What the fuck Bono!? What the Fuck? "

"awful techno muzak effort"

33. (22) Lemon - 589.5

"Purely an exercise in self indulgence and electronic experimentation"

"and bad music..."

 

[bathiu]

Aren't you embarrassed?

nah, I this song

 

[bathiu]

33. (22) Lemon - 589.5

and this is next on my playlist... weird

 

[Irishteen]

32. (25) Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me - 657.9

"A "look how clever we are" that makes you want to stuff red hot pokers up the band's arses for daring to be so bloody pretentious."

"Ditch this shit. "

31. (16) One Tree Hill - 722.4

"Lamest of the Lame. "

"Empty, overblown bravura. In short, posing. "

 

[bono_212]

What the FUCK, Bono?

 

[MMP]

32. (25) Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me - 657.9

This....

31. (16) One Tree Hill - 722.4

...below this.
New examples of failure, I see.

 

[FitzChivalry]

40. (40) Heartland - 437.2

39. (32) Vertigo - 464.4

38. (42) Love Is Blindness - 474.1

37. (30) Even Better Than The Real Thing - 479.8

35. (57) The Ground Beneath Her Feet - 545.4

34. (39) Mofo - 577.6

33. (22) Lemon - 589.5

Wow. Of these last 8, only 1 made my Top 50: 'Mofo'.

I can kind of see making a case for EBTTRT or TGBHF. But 'Electrical Storm' and 'Vertigo'? That's just embarrassing!

New examples of failure, I see.

One Tree Hill > HMTMKMKM by such an unimaginable margin. I am surprised that One Tree Hill is that low.

New examples of failure, I see.

yeah, HMTMKMKM was my #1

 

[God Part III]

 

[MMP]

One Tree Hill > HMTMKMKM by such an unimaginable margin. I am surprised that One Tree Hill is that low.

HMTMKMKM is the second best thing U2 has ever done. And no way OTH is the best. IMO.

 

[Irishteen]

HMTMKMKM is the second best thing U2 has ever done. And no way OTH is the best. IMO.

Axver would disagree

 

[MMP]

Axver would disagree

Indeed.

 

[Irishteen]

30. (27)Ultraviolet (Light My Way) - 764.1

"What an unbelievable, bald-faced sellout"

"boo"

"embarrassing even by U2 standards."

 

[God Part III]

HMTMKMKM is the second best thing U2 has ever done. And no way OTH is the best. IMO.

What's the best then?

 

[God Part III]

30. (27)Ultraviolet (Light My Way) - 764.1

WAY TOO LOW

Damn you Interference.

 

[Irishteen]

29. (19) Pride (In The Name of Love) - 784.1

"What's the point of hiring Brian Eno to produce your record if you keep doing the same old tired meat'n'potatoes "rawk"?"

"Edge- Play a different friggin' chord!!!! "

"It's almost like Eno said, "Hey, you can sing really high... you should totally sing high all the time and when you're not singing just yell really high on pitch and it'll be great!"

 

[MMP]

What's the best then?

You're gonna be so disappointed....


Elevation, mate.. Elevation.
No, I'm not kidding. It is, to me, the best song ever done, by anyone.

 

[MMP]

29. (19) Pride (In The Name of Love) - 784.1

Way too high... good to see it dropped 10 places though.

 

[LemonMelon]

"Edge- Play a different friggin' chord!!!! "

This must be referring to Bad.

 

[Irishteen]

This must be referring to Bad.

Probably I think I took it from a review of the Unforgettable Fire album

 

[Irishteen]

28. (21) Mysterious Ways - 822.3

"Bono's voice sounds crap, the lyrics are lame"

"Brian Eno continues to ruin his credibility by aiding Bono and Co"

"Even Bo Diddley can't save them here. "

 

[dward1]

wow this is really interesting. got here right in time. Magnificent, Unknown Caller, Moment of Surrender, Breathe, and No Line on the Horizon still left from the new album correct?

UC does not deserve it but I can see the argument for the others. I am pulling for a Walk On top 10 along with Acrobat.

Yup all five are still left
