Please rate I'm Not Your Baby on a scale from 0 to 10, using whatever criteria you feel allows you to best evaluate the song as a whole. I will not set criteria for people to based on, but if you feel like your best evaluation of the merits of a song comes from voting only based on, say, the studio version, go right ahead and vote that way. Full information on the Rate The Song series may be found in this thread.

Have fun! This poll will close in 96 hours.

Well here's another chance to hear it:

Like with NASOTR, I think this is better than several tracks on Pop. It's super sleek and cool and I really love Larry's work and the "shrieks" in the background. There's a really evocative groove going on here. It's another one of Bono's "list" lyrics and not every line is perfect but some of them are great.

The big story here is bringing in Sinead O'Connor for a duet, and I just love hearing her with the band's music. She's also a great foil for Bono's sultry vulnerability here.

Eh, not sure about this one, though I like it. More so the version where Sinéad O'Connor isn't singing. 6.

I'm a Sinead fan and always hoped she'd record some stuff with U2, like Bono, she has a unique, sublime voice and would bring a hard edge to the U2 sound.
I think they could do better than this though, although I do like it.

This song is excellent. Deserved a better fate than it received.

Just heard it for the first time and I love it. Really cool and different tune for U2. Kinda similar to some Passengers stuff. What year is this from?

Wow, I really seem to like this one. Great, rocking tune - and Sinead's vocals blend well in the song as a whole. 7.
