[Axver]

5. Mediocre song, pretty dull on repeated listens. The Refugee is a little better than it.

Stunned Drowning Man out-polled Gloria. I love Drowning Man and all, but Gloria's better.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

two. yep. this is easily my least favourite off war.

edit: i forgot to add it has one of the dodgiest u2 lyrics ever. yeah a mole/diggin' in a hole sucks horseshit, but what about this song? i can't stop the dance/maybe this is my last chance. it sounds like a line even tiffany would refuse to sing.

 

[coolian2]

five, just because it's not better than the refugee but is better than red light, imo.

 

[Saracene]

7. I don't mind it.

 

[Alisaura]

The decent bassline (which I never noticed until those bloody awful remixes assaulted my ears) almost makes up for the rest of it, and that baffling music video.

3 for me.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm in the minority, but I score it an 8. Up yours haters!

 

[An Cat Gav]

I gave it 7, though i suspect it deserves less. Good video though.

 

[The Sad Punk]

7. Good little song.

2 Drowning Man 8.43 (Best Album Track)

What the fuck? Seriously?

 

[coolian2]

i think the omg play it live hype is getting some people.

 

[AndrewCowley]

7. I like it a lot mainly for that cool guitar sound of Edge's. Always struck me as odd that he was never able to go anywhere close to reproducing that sound live. He could today I guess with his over the top effects rig but in the 80's it was beyond him.

Funny film clip too. Seems to have noting whatsoever to do with the song. Entirely random.

 

[gvox]

One of U2s true poppy dance songs. It gets me moving, so it gets an 8.

 

[digitize]

Four. Pointless.

 

[gvox]

What the fuck? Seriously?

In principle, this is why U2 should never listen to the people on this site. Absolutely ridiculous that this comes out over many many other songs below it.

i think the omg play it live hype is getting some people.

Yah think?

 

[blueeyedgirl]

8. And to think they got a dance remix 12 inch out of this

 

[2861U2]

2. Worst song on the album, and probably in my top 5 least-favorite U2 songs.

 

[intedomine]

Stunned Drowning Man out-polled Gloria. I love Drowning Man and all, but Gloria's better.

...but it's good to have some of the underdogs surpass some of the traditional big guns.

6 for 2 Heartz. Nice tune, but not all that exhillarating. Great video.

 

[martha]

11.

My favorite U2 song for, what, 25 years?

 

[Irishteen]

Stunned Drowning Man out-polled Gloria. I love Drowning Man and all, but Gloria's better.

Yeah it's a little surprising, it well deserves a top 5 place at this stage though

 

[LemonMelon]

Drowning Man > Gloria? What the hell?

Anyway, THBAO is fairly mediocre. 6.

 

[gman]

I gave it a 7. Good song to jam along with on my bass

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I've always loved this one, so I'll give it a 9.

 

[nielsgov]

Pretty boring. 6 but should have given it less.

 

[bono_212]

9, adore this song.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i think drowning man is way, way better than gloria. but hey, what do i know? apparently i only think this way because it's been rehearsed on this tour.

 

[coolian2]

In principle, this is why U2 should never listen to the people on this site. Absolutely ridiculous that this comes out over many many other songs below it.



Yah think?

i believe that it's better than gloria, that's no shit. but there's probably an element of extra appreciation from some quarters who wouldn't be rating it as highly if they hadn't heard of it being rehearsed.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Maybe Bono's best lyric about being in love with a girl. A topic he doesn't broach all that often. Great song. It'll get an 8 from me.

 

[Axver]

I really don't think the rehearsals of Drowning Man are responsible for much of a boost in its score. It has always been very popular here.
