Gloria Vs. Wake Up Dead Man

[Zoots]

Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you

Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too

 

[xaviMF22]

as much as I love Gloria...Im going to have to go with WUDM... great closer

 

[U2democrat]

start an album with Gloria


end it with WUDM

 

[adrball]

...And a fucked up world it is too.

I sing this line to myself frequently.

 

[2233]

Wake Up Dead Man I find it a bit more relevant

 

[schnumi]

Wake up dead man rocks!

 

[WalkOnTheEdge]

Gloria all day.

 

[gherman]

Not a fan of Wake Up Dead Man

 

[JCOSTER]

Wake up Dead Man

 

[nathan1977]

I'll date Wake Up Dead Man, but I'll marry Gloria.

 

[martha]

Gloria: The second best U2 song ever.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Gloria. Live with the solos and into the final chord progression is pure sex, baby.

 

[CTU2fan]

The fact that my vote broke a 13-13 tie is very sad...Gloria, and not close.

 

[2morrow]

Gloria:

It's energetic and bouncy, whereas WUDM is slow, moody, and dragging (all in the good ways). Also, Gloria is more musically unique, while WUDM is just arpeggio'd chords in a pretty standard sequence (Em, D, Am, G) Plus, Latin rocks! .

I like both songs, but I listen to Gloria a lot more.

 

[Queen Bee]

Wake Up Dead Man. I always discover new background sounds when I listen to that song on headphones

 

[goincommando]

I love Gloria to death, but Wake Up Dead Man is just so mysterious and desperate. If only it was played live, full band with extended solos....

 

[Axver]

Gloria is musically better, but WUDM has some of the best lyrics Bono has ever written and there is so much buried in that song, it's excellently made.

I can't decide.

 

[WalkOnTheEdge]

I can't decide.

We're not asking you to split the atom, pick a song already.

 

[Canadiens1131]

We're not asking you to split the atom, pick a song already.

Nobody likes a quitter.

 

[RademR]

we got a race.

ill go with GLORIA...the lyrics are superior and brilliant on Wake Up but love that guitar riff by Edge. I'll go GLORIA

 

[Axver]

We're not asking you to split the atom, pick a song already.

Wow, I didn't know it was a crime to consider two songs equally good.

 

[WalkOnTheEdge]

Wow, I didn't know it was a crime to consider two songs equally good.

Just playing around, Ax. Surely you can narrow it down to one or the other.

 

[Aygo]

I'm not voting this time. I can't decide...
Gloria is one of my favourite tracks from one of my favoutite albums, and it's an anthem, a great song live.
Wake up dead man moves me because of tis lyrics, and it's a huge song too, a great way to end Pop.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Wake Up Dead Man, because my mother doesn't play it to death like she does with Gloria

 

[tpsglick2424]

Gloria

 

[one4u2]

GLORIA.....


G L O R I A

 

[cruzila]

Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you

Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too

Wake Up Dead Man gets my vote!

 

[corianderstem]

This is harder than I initially would have thought.

I have to go with Gloria. But Wake Up Dead Man is really, really super duper awesome, too.

 

[angelordevil]

Wake Up Dead Man. I always discover new background sounds when I listen to that song on headphones

There are Zooropa-like voices swirling around if you listen really carefully.

 

[love_u2_adam]
