Just out of my curiosity - Rank Zooropa and its songs!

[cobl04]

I'm really into this album atm, just wondering what everyone else here gives the songs out of 10, just out of interest I want to compare what some people think after 13 years of listening to it compared to under a month. Try to leave a comment too, it makes it more interesting and isn't just lists.

1. Zooropa - 8
2. Babyface - 7
3. Numb - 7
4. Lemon - 9
5. Stay - 8.5
6. Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car - 6.5 (So different! I'm warming to this quick)
7. Some Days Are Better Than Others - 7
8. The First Time - 5
9. Dirty Day - 7 (I still don't 'get' or like that father to son verse, it disrupts the song)
10. The Wanderer - 7

 

[Chizip]

on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best

1. Babyface - 11 (above perfection)
2. Zooropa - 10 (perfection)
3. Dirty Day - 9.5 (damn close to perfection)
4. The Wanderer - 9.25 (best lyrics of all time)
5. Daddy's Gonna Pay - 9 (funkytown groove)
6. The First Time - 8.75 (sweet serenity)
7. Numb - 8 (word)
8. Lemon - 3 (meh)
9. Some Days - 2 (worst lyrics ever)
10. Stay - -3 (boringest song in u2s catalogue)

 

[discothequeLP]

1 -- Lemon 10
2 -- Daddy's Gonna Pay 9
3 -- The Wanderer 8
4 -- The First Time 8
5 -- Some Days 6
6 -- Dirty Day 6
7 -- Stay 6
8 -- Babyface 6
9 -- Numb 5
10 -- Zooropa 4


i really like Babyface. the only easy one to list was Lemon. Stay is only at 7 because of the Elevation boston performance. but if this is soley based on the album version it should be 10.

This album is a joke. I'm not trying to stir the pot and I'm not trying to piss anyone off, I just would love to know how anyone could actually enjoy this album. My god, it's so bad. I just don't get it.

That's okay, it's your opinion
Unfortunately - and as probably U2 wouild say - you didn't get the... joke.

Stay is well known to be the classic from Zooropa, so people are just trying to be different and say they don't like it.

ah yes, the well known classic from Zooropa. is there such thing as a well known song from Zooropa? and i can honestly say that i do not enjoy listening to the alubm version. i hate the tone from the drums, and everything else is boring. the performance on the Boston DVD was great. the album version, not as great, at least to me. but i want to be different, just like everyone else who doesn't like the song.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

is there such thing as a well known song from Zooropa?

I'd say that Numb & Lemon are way, way, way better known than anything off the Bomb bar Vertigo.

 

[Zoots]

To me, Stay on Zooropa is much better than any live version! Stay (faraway, so close!) is a frickin' U2 classic!!!

 

[phillyfan26]

Zooropa - 10
Babyface - 1
Numb - 6
Lemon - 3
Stay - 10
Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car - 5
Some Days Are Better Than Others - 2
The First Time - 9
Dirty Day - 3
The Wanderer - 6

Dirty Day improved drastically live, and Daddy's Gonna Pay got better. That's about it. I think my feelings on Lemon are starting to become well known around here.
