[Axver]

One of U2's five best songs ever. Undeniably 10.

Also, thrilled to see how well Treasure did.

 

[mikal]

9. in my Top 20.

 

[digitize]

Nine. Great song.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

A big 9. Love the thing. At its best on the Popmart DVD, methinks. But i'm sure Ax knows plenty of better versions.

 

[U2DMfan]

The first of these 54 songs that deserves a legitimate 10.

Not that I haven't given a 10 before...I think I gave one to Threw A Brick or something else just to counter the idiot vote.

But a legit 10 in U2's canon.

 

[coolian2]

10. not a shadow of a doubt otherwise.

 

[nielsgov]

10. Just a great song.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Believe the hype, this is just a great song. Don't think they've written a more catchy or memorable piano or bass line since.
10

 

[gman]

Scored it a 9. This might well jump into the lead if the figures are anyting to go by!

 

[blueeyedgirl]

9 from me too.

 

[gvox]

20

 

[LemonMelon]

NYD and Gloria as #1 and #2

 

[cobl04]

who gave it a 1? 10, plus it has the golden age verse

 

[MilotheMayor]

One of my top 5 U2 songs. Easy 10.

 

[theedgeu2]

10. Incredible song! And yes the PopMart version of this song from MC is undeniably epic. I play along to that one all the time. Slane is a close second too.

 

[the tourist]

Either someone heartily dislikes it or they're ranking strategically in the hopes that another overwhelmingly popular song that they like more will oust NYD by like .01

 

[U2DMfan]

Want to know who gave it what rating?

You see those lines under the numbers? Clickity click.

It's a public poll.

 

[cobl04]

[the tourist]

oh my god. that's incredible. has this always been so?

For quite a while, yes.
