Anyways... On my first ever listen to Pop I knew I was going to love this record by the opening of Mofo. After hearing Miami it was sealed.

By the opening of Discotheque. That was the first song. Mofo was #3.

Ah I think you misinterpreted my post. I was talking about the opening of Mofo not the album.

My only issue with the song is B and E during the chorus.
When Edge starts rocking out I'm happy 99% of the time. Miami is the other 1% unfortunately. Bono's use of concrete imagery during his travelogue in the verses is the exact opposite of what people accuse his lyrics of being: "vague and flowery." They're specific and direct and pretty damn impressive. To go from that to a chorus of screaming, "Miami! My, mammy!!"
is just unfortunate.

Still, a very good song.
The 'Miami, my mammy' screaming is probably the best part of the song imo, live with that louder and rockier guitar sound is simply.

I agree, one of their most experimental tracks.
