Singles from HTDAAB

Ok After hearing each song a million times, which songs do you think will be singles? Here is my order.

1- Vertigo
2- SYCMIOYO
3- ABOY
4- Miracle Drug
5- Original of the Species (maybe?)


Opinions?
 
1 - Vertigo
2 - Crumbs From Your Table
3 - Miracle Drug
4 - City Of Blinding Lights
5 - ABOY
6 - SYCMIOYO
7 - Original Of The Species

... not likely to happen... isn't it?

hmmm I wouldn't think so :wink:
We do know the SYCMIOYO will be the second single to be released early next year. Anyone think there will be 5 singles?
 
love and peace or else and crumbs will certainly not be singles...i think you're right about the rest aussieu2
 
1. Vertigo
2. SYCMIOYO
3. All Because Of You
4. Love And Peace Or Else
and if possible
5. City Of Blinding Lights (this one would make a great video)

Fuck yeah! Blow those new bands out of the water! :yes:
 
If LAPOE were to be released as a single, the intro would be edited or wholly removed.

I imagine songs such as Miracle Drug, ABOY, and OOTS stand much better chances of being released as singles.
 
1. Vertigo
2. Original of the Species
3. All Because Of You
4. Love And Peace Or Else
5. City Of Blinding Lights
6. Miracle Drug
 
Vertigo
All Because of You
City of Blinding Lights
Original of the Species
Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own
And in my dreams: Love and Peace or Else

I don't see Miracle Drug as a single. I think it's a great song, but doesn't seem single-like to me. :shrug:
 
Miracle Drug IMO has all the elements of a hit. Hopefully my judgement of reality isn't clouded amongst all this mayhem, but
I believe I can see Miracle Drug really fucking up the mainstream. And I really really hope it hits No. 1. It's so catchy and memorable, it's my 3rd favourite song of all time.
 
1. Vertigo
2. City Of Blinding Lights
3. All Because Of You
4. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
5. Original Of The Species

I agree with you, in the list and in that 'new bands' affirmation
 
Definitely ABOY, possibly Miracle Drug, and after that, who knows? I would love Love and Peace or Else to be released as a single just because it's so friggin' cool, but I'm afraid it might be too long.
 
U2 has to do Miracle Drug justice!!!!! They can't leave it to be an undiscovered gem!

It's too good and won't be denied.

Miracle Drug, City of Blinding Lights, and All Because of You seem like the logic follow-ups to Vertigo. I guess I would go with Miracle Drug just because it's so damn good.
 
Sometimes..
All Because of You
Miracle Drug
City of Blinding Lights

Miracle Drug is such a strong tune. I nearly cried when I first heard it. Edge is amazing as ever on that track.
 
1.Vertigo
2.All Because Of You
3.Original Of The Species
4.Miracle Drug
5.Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

Every song could be a single:drool:
 
What was the next single? I forgets......"Sometimes" and "Miracle Drug" will undoubtedly be singles.....none of the rest really stands out in that way, so I'm not sure what the fourth (or later) singles will end up being.
 
The label told the writers and such that Sometimes... is the 2nd single. So after that, I would guess that they pull what they did last time and release different singles on different continents,
USA get ABOY 3rd (direct rock) maybe UK gets a different song and so on.

I think ABOY is one of the 4 or 5 singles, in addition to Vetigo and Sometimes. I don't know about the other 1 or 2, OOTS and Miracle Drug possibly. I think COBL might be too long to 'edit' down and make it a 'single'. But it could happen of course.
 
That's a good point....I could see the third single being different songs in the UK and US. I'm listening to "ABOY" and it would definitely do well here on the rock stations.....I think the UK would better take to the lighter material since they're so infatuated with that Coldplay/Keane sort of stuff.
 
Singles

Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own
Original of the Species
All Because of You

and possibly City of Blinding Lights

Two ballads, two rockers (ABOY, Vertigo) and possibly a 5th single if the tour is a long one (I suspect it will be)
 
Love, Peace or else has to be a single, come on it's so great so amazingly great, it's hard it's tuneful it rocks the whole fuckin place!!!!!!
 
1. Vertigo
2. Miracle Drug
3. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
4. Love and Peace or Else
5. City Of Blinding Lights
6. All Because of You
7. A Man And A Woman
8. Crumbs From Your Table
9. One Step Closer
10. Original Of The Species
11. Yaweh

...it could happen, right? :wink:
 
All Because of You will be a single, guaranteed.
Miracle Drug could be... I guess Sometimes could be too. Love and Peace rules, but I don't think it'll be a single.
 
I think it will be:

Vertigo
Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own
All Because of You
Miracle Drug
City of Blinding Lights
 
the 4 singles

1.vertigo
2.miracle drug
3.all because of you(released on 25th anniversary of 1st single)
4.original of the species(cos its gotta big u2 chorus)

Can i just say that this is the most u2 lp since Joshua tree.
ATYCLB was u2 trying to be u2.
HTDAAB is u2 being u2 naturally.
There are tracks on here that are evoke memories of their whole career.

Well done guys..


P.S You still rock my world!!!
