For the record, with the exception of my "Pop" track, I don't dislike any of these songs. However, if I was forced to eliminate one of each of these songs from an album, I could do it and live without them.

[DreamOutLoud13]

Because people are sick of it.


Either that, or everyone's been brainwashed by Axver

 

[Axver]

I must be doing something right.

Passengers: The worst U2(-related) song ever, Elvis Ate America
Pop: Miami
ATYCLB: In A Little While
HTDAAB: Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

 

[Rob33]

Because people are sick of it.

ok....that doesn't mean take it off one of U2's best album's...

that's like saying your sick of WTSHNN because you've seen it 20 times in concert and you've listened to JT for the past 15 years, and you're just sick of it, so it should be removed from the JT album...

Just wait a minute here: We aren't actually taking these songs off the album. We're just seeing which song off each album people could do without if they had to.

 

[Axver]

I did take Elvis Ate America off Passengers and burnt a copy without it. I'm not even sure anymore where it's meant to go on the album, because it flows so nicely without it.

woah woah woah! you can't take Promenade out!

 

[Diemen]

Boy: Another Time, Another Place
October: Is That All?
War: Red Light
UF: 4th of July (like it, but eh... it's only a musical bookmark anyway)

AB: Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World
Zooropa: Some Days Are Better Than Others
Pop: Playboy Mansion
ATYCLB: When I Look At The World
HTDAAB: A Man And A Woman

 

[Axver]

MLK?!

I cannot quite grasp why MLK has such a strong reputation. It's just a single synth note with Bono singing the same thing twice over the top. That barely qualifies as a song. There's more going on in 4th Of July!

 

[Zoots]

Reckoner

Shit, wrong band!
