UNGH SUGAR COME ON!!!!!

SHOW YA SOUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLlllllllllll

I'll give you everything you want. Except the thing that you want.
 
You'll probably like it 33% more now.

Actually, maybe I'll replace The First Time with Daddy's, too. But So Cruel stays.

The First Time/Daddy's is a lateral move. I'd take Wanderer there. I still can't wrap my mind around what makes the studio version of that song listenable.

Fucking brilliant in, like, 7 different ways. No, wait, just one. Wait...no...nevermind. None.
 
Just off the top of my head, a bottom ten U2 hits:

10. Red Light
9. DGPFYCC
8. TTYAATW
7. OOTS
6. So Cruel
5. ARATHBH
4. Elevation
3. Vertigo. Come to think of it, this should probably be number one.
2. EAA
1. One

I do have a top 10 too, though!

HOLY SHIT I FORGOT OOTS. I put it there, replacing a song that I'm really just completely indifferent towards.

My bottom ten looks something like:

10. TTTYAATW
9. Babyface
8. Red Light
7. Ultra Violet
6. One
5. In A Little While
4. SYCMIOYO
3. Stuck In A Moment
2. A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel
1. Elvis Ate America

Feels wrong to leave out OOTS, though.
 
I'd post my bottom ten, but I'd get crucified for some of my selections. One in particular.

I'd say First Time is a good deal better than Daddy's. At least its intro isn't cringeworthy.

No secret that I quite like The Wanderer, especially lyrically.

See, I think Ultraviolet is one of the best songs on AB (and we've been through this discussion before), and of course I like Babyface a lot, but the rest are more or less right. IALW is another I forgot. I'd probably just put all of ATYCLB there and be done with, except for Beautiful Day, WILATW and Kite, which are just average at best.
 
In no order:

One
Mothers of the Disappeared
Some Days Are Better Than Others
Elvis Ate America
Hallelujah Here She Comes
If God Will Send His Angels
The Wanderer
Peace On Earth
The Hands That Built America
Elevation

Honorable Mentions:

Love Rescue Me
Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
Rise Up
Drunk Chicken
Desert Of Our Love
 
So, I'm thinking of starting a pointless poll on EYKIW, just because I'm interested in what the results will be.

One
Two Hearts Beat As One
The Three Sunrises
40

Am I missing anything?
 
ooh, bottom ten songs.

i'll share mine:

1. twilight demo version
2. yahweh
3. sickamygoogoo
4. one
5. all because of you
6. walk on
7. when i look at the world
8. love and peace or else - studio version, not live
9. peace on earth
10. elevation

i'm only positive of the order of 1-4, btw. oh and i forgot fortunate son. that should be on there too.
 
Quite an investment for your first album. It took me years to find Best of 1980-1990 w/ b-sides.

:up: to your honorable mentions BTW.

I bought it about six months after it was released. Holy shit. That's been almost ten years.
