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

[Irishteen]

19. (-) Moment of Surrender - 1085.0

"it personifies EXACTLY what the hell is wrong with this band. The VERY skeleton of the song, is a simple keyboard with four or so notes repeated over and over. Eno THEN throws a pile of stuido crap over it, and VOILA!! A boring simple song, blown up in the studio to be a lighter swaying, stadium moper. SO proggy eh? And curious, does anyone actually find the lyrics here BLATANTLY insulting? They’re from the first person, a man/woman/child who has no money (WHEN was THE LAST FUCKING TIME Bono was at an ATM machine?) who ultimately ends up on the street. Wow. Seriously. The worlds richest, most popular band, singing about being poor. Seriously. Shut the fuck up, you fucking whores. The whole worlds in a fucking recession, people of my generation are in deep shit in regards to the blatant failings of capitalism. And you’re singing about being HOMELESS? Fuck you, U2, fuck you. Sing about anything else, sing about your damn causes too (Bonos humanitarian policies are questionable though, you CANT just throw money at the thing..USE YOUR HEAD, its BIGGER than that) if you want. But NOT about something you have NO concept about. Seriously."

"It swings, it grooves, it has mystery, it's a great production and works wonders on the dance-floor. HA!"

"Mullen's dull drumming, and way too much yelping and pleading from the vocalist."

LCT is my number one ,and somehow,sometimes remixes make me love a long lost song even more.

 

[Irishteen]

I'm gonna stop for a few minutes so everyone can read the amazing Moment of Surrender reviews

OMG... that first review.
It's so stupid I can't stop laughing

It's just silly how high these NLOTH songs are placing. But that's to be expected, I guess, on a U2 fan forum with a new U2 album having recently come out. But Unknown Caller one of the 25 best songs U2 has ever written? No. Just...no.

People probably would of said the same thing when Achtung Baby came out not all albums have to slowly lose their appeal to the fans, NLOTH might but it also might not we don't know yet

18. (23) Walk On - 1118.0

"another self-indulgent chapter in Bono's history of rubbling a microphone between his sticky legs"

"I feel sick"

"nails on a chalkboard political correct preachings"

 

[flybabe]

OMG

Walk On isn't exactly my favorite song,I don`t even think I had it on my list.

 

[bono_212]

Man, the nloth results are...ridiculous.

 

[Irishteen]

17. (11) All I Want Is You - 1165.6

"ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...when all I want is to sleep"

"is poopy"

"It sounds just like typical 80s pop music"

 

[Irishteen]

16. (24) Please - 1174.5

"atrocious filler masquerading as 'art'. "

"Overblown, pompous, egocentric and NOT EVEN THAT ORIGINAL"

"Please but the gun to your head Bono?"

 

[Irishteen]

15. (28) City of Blinding Lights - 1225.8

"Throw up in a toilet bad. No, wait. Worse. "

"clearly now only in it for the money"

Yes, just yes.

It's a fantastic song.

Although it was #34 on my list at the time. It's grown on me in the last couple of days though.

Actually, yes. Just... yes.

Edit: You beat me to it!

14. (18) A Sort of Homecoming - 1226.3

"the same sound that I make when my sinuses are acting up and I cough up a lung lizard and eject it mixed with spittle. "

"it really is a little too messianic, a little too big music, a little too eighties"

"It's hard to believe anymore, but once upon a time U2 used to be a rock band"

 

[God Part III]

15. (28) City of Blinding Lights - 1225.8

Though the studio version is overproduced, I think we can all agree on that.

And *weeeee* for A Sort of Homecoming!!!

 

[bono_212]

Unknown caller, I believe, was the only nloth song to even make my top 20, but I expected these results to be skewed anyways. But magnificent is going to rate painfully high

 

[Irishteen]

Only a score of 0.5 separated City and ASOH in the end

 

[Axver]

Wow, Interference, have U2 released a new album recently or something?

It'll be interesting to see just how NLOTH does in a couple of years. We all saw how HTDAAB swiftly plummeted in the forum's estimation.

Also, White As Snow in the 70s and Breathe at 20? Epic fail. Swap those results.

Unknown Caller is a brilliant epic...it's coming from a different place. Love the organ....the way it ends, makes me want to hear it again...and again.

Interestingly enough Bomb seems to be going back up in the rankings again, maybe it's a cycle, love an album, hate an album, like an album

By the way Ax I used some quotes by you hope you don't mind

I prefer the studio version of COBL to any live version that I have.

Scratch that last comment then.

13. (10) The Unforgettable Fire - 1266.0

"This just sounds like a very bad Radiohead release."

"Pretentious horrible crap"

"Rubbish but credit for not staying in the same groove "

I'm really surprised by some of what's risen and fallen in the rankings. Love the IALW tumble!

Haha, I've enjoyed spotting my quotes.

But, I would rather HEAR it live anyday than play it on my stereo....

 

[dward1]

love to see COBL rising in the rankings and am still laughing over that MoS 1st review. disappointed in the Walk On low ranking. In 5 years I predict Walk On and Kite will rise as the ATYCLB hate cycle ends and people realize the greatness of those songs. Unknown Caller will plummet quickly and Cedars and White as Snow will rise.

I also like the direction Please is headed in.

12. (8)Until The End of the World - 1278.9

"this is where the undanceable alterna-dance aesthetic takes over"

"really mediocre and blends into one totally forgettable mash of sounds. "

"Ridiculous! Absolutely horrible!"
