Rank Your Favorite Songs on the Album Part 9: Rattle And Hum

[cobl04]

maybe an accompanying EP would have been the best idea

 

[adypole]

Exceptional:

Hawkmoon 269 (The organ intro...is that Dylan? I read somewhere it was. Either way, it's brilliant!)
Angel Of Harlem
All I Want Is You
God Part II

good:

Heartland
When Love Comes To Town
Desire
Love Rescue Me

 

[U2girl]

1. Desire (still possibly the best U2-does-rock song)
2. All I want is you
3. Angel of Harlem

4. Heartland
5. Hawkmoon
6. Love rescue me
7. God part II

8. Van Diemen's Land
9. When love comes to town

 

[An Cat Gav]

1. All I Want Is You - as good as a love song can get. It also features Edge's greatest guitar solo on record(ok, apart from the fly). The strings added by Van Dyke Parks(he was in twin peaks!) are out of this world

2. Desire.

3. God Part 2

4. Heartland

5 Hawkmoon 269 - if it was the same as the live version this would be joint 1st with AIWIY.

6. Angel Of Harlem

7. Van Diemans Land

8. When Love Comes To Town

9. Love Rescue Me.

[nielsgov]

I almost never listen to the album and there are only a few studio songs I really like. The overal quality is a major step down from TJT.

Classic
1. Heartland: Fantastic vocal. U2 at their best.
2. All I Want Is You: The song is a bit too long but it's still amazing.
Great
3. God Part ll
4. Angel Of Harlem
Good
5. Desire
OK
6. Van Diemens Land
Meh
7. When Love Comes To Town
8. Hawkmoon 269
9. Love Rescue Me

 

[corianderstem]

I really can't stand Silver and Gold, so I have no problem arbitrarily leaving it off this list.

1. All I Want Is You
2. Heartland
3. Hawkmoon 269 (I used to not like this song. Oh, what a fool I was.)
4. When Love Comes to Town
5. Angel of Harlem
6. Desire
7. Love Rescue Me
8. God Part II
9. Van Diemen's Land

 

[Catman]

everyone does realise silver and gold is a live song and not studio, right?

I think some people just want to rank all of the new songs from the record.

10) Love Rescue Me
9) When Love Comes to Town
8) Silver & Gold
7) Van Diemen's Land
6) God Part II
5) Hawkmoon 269
4) Angel of Harlem
3) Desire
2) Heartland
1) All I Want is You

[thelaj]

For me, this is U2's worst album, though at the rate Bomb is sinking maybe not for too much longer...

Once again, no five star rated songs on here according to iTunes:

01. Desire
02. All I Want is You
03. God Part II

04. Heartland
05. Angel of Harlem
06. Hawkmoon 269
07. Van Diemen's Land
08. When Love Comes To Town

09. Love Rescue Me (I think this is the worst song on a U2 album )

 

[MrPryck2U]
