[SeattleVertigo]

10. One of my favorites, and underrated on this forum.

 

[nielsgov]

Really good song but not one of their best.

 

[Zoots]

10. One of my favorites, and underrated on this forum.

Yes indeed! It doesn't seem as popular as Streets or WOWY but I like it just as much, maybe more! Love it love it love it!

 

[Vlaco]

9, amazing song. The first U2 song I knew somewhere in the nineties.

 

[JoRu]

I gave it a 10!

Not better than Streets (at least not when Streets is performed live), but definately top 5 for me. Here in Sweden this is by far their most known and beloved song. One was a contestant for that award here in Sweden as well, but since a few years ago when people mention it, people go "Mary J Blige, right?".

 

[An Cat Gav]

9.

 

[bigjohn2441]

every song on JT gets a 10 from me

 

[2861U2]

10.

That's right, I gave Streets a 7 and this a 10.

 

[Slapnutz]

7

Like it, but don't love it.

 

[Irishteen]

7, remaster improved my opinion of it but it's just good not one of my favourites

 

[dward1]

10, one of the best and most distinct guitar bits in U2's catalog

 

[LemonMelon]

10. Inexplicably underrated. Incredible lyrics and vocal performance from Bono, and Edge really does seem to be from another planet on this one. It's magical, corny as that sounds.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

10. Yes, even as an atheist, I give this a 10!

 

[intedomine]

10. Yes, even as an atheist, I give this a 10!

Might have given this a mere 7 a year and a half ago, but Oh how this has grown. 10

 

[God Part III]

I used to think this was a bit overrated, I fell in love with it on this tour. 9 for me.

 

[mikal]

i give this song an 8.

People who are rating this song anything less than a 10, here's the song again in case you've forgotten how amazing it is.

YouTube - U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

One of their best intros ever! The song just screams Quintessential U2 in every way. Fantastic vocals and the band look happy and playful in a colourful stylish video. This song simply came alive on the remastered Joshua Tree for me.

 

[digitize]

Seven. Not one of my favorites, but a good enough song.

You're right what was I thinking, I'll change my vote to 6 now

 

[Axver]

3. Not down-rating, I'm genuinely totally bored by this song. There's no depth to it, once you've sung along to it a few times there's nothing left and no reason to keep listening. As hollow as Vertigo.

 

[Zoots]

As hollow as Vertigo.

Wow! That is just complete bollocks and you know it! I know your taste well enough by now to know that you don't mean that. Listen to the 2 songs back to back and tell me you meant that!

 

[powerhour24]

2, and 3?

What on earth??

10. Period.

Ooh, that reminds me, I can't wait to give Trip a murderously low rating.

 

[cobl04]

i gave it a 8, but i tossed between that and a 9 for some time. the chorus is amazing.

i have climbed highest mountain
i have run through the fiels

always annoyed me.

also does anyone else hear what sounds like a sunday bloody sunday riff in the background at the very end of the song? or has that always been just me.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i love this song, at least as far as the studio version is concerned. i kinda wish i'd given it more than a seven.

 

[coolian2]

used to love it, now i don't mind it...a five represents how i feel at the moment. sometimes i'll skip it when i listen to the joshua tree, sometimes i don't.

 

[LemonMelon]

As hollow as Vertigo.

You can do much better than this.

 

[the tourist]

8 from me. Studio version is aces. It suffers live.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Wow! That is just complete bollocks and you know it! I know your taste well enough by now to know that you don't mean that. Listen to the 2 songs back to back and tell me you meant that!

It's just Axver indulging in BVS style contrariness....
