it's one of the few songs i wouldn't mind seeing at #1.

no idea how ultraviolet got to #4... i love it and all, but i never knew we all loved it that much.

I'll give this a 7. Pretty good album opener, but as a song in itself is kind of average U2.

Well, I'm not sure Bono wouldn't agree with my rating, since the band quickly dropped it from the live set and have never stuck it on any of their compilations. (Then again, you could say the same of 'Ultraviolet', which is a stone-cold classic). Cute photo of young, hairy Bono though.

For the record, I'm perfectly fine with you being less than enamored with the song. As a matter of fact, I would prefer that you actively dislike the song so I'll have one less opinion to acknowledge. However, referring to the song as "average U2" insinuates that the average U2 song in some way resembles Zooropa. And I honestly don't want to love any band as much as I would U2 if that statement were true.

I don't care if you like the song or not, but this isn't average U2. It just isn't.

i don't care if you like the song or not but to give this a 7 and say it's pretty average is a disgrace and you obviously don't like the band

Didn't mean to start off a minor furore. What I should have typed was:

"kind of average-quality U2."

There! I hope everyone will now be able to sleep tonight. Off to bed, y'all!

You've now inspired me to reveal one of my three nipples in my next photo!

(So much for y'all getting any sleep.)

Andreianloth · 11-29-2009, 11:44 AM

8.
It's my third Zooropa's favorite song

powerhour24 · 11-29-2009, 11:54 AM

F'in brilliant, kicks off the concept and the sound of the album in an incredible way, understanding this song alone shows that U2 wasn't just dabbling with sounds, they knew what they were doing.

Vlaco · 11-30-2009, 07:41 AM

Easily a 10.

monsieur fly · 11-30-2009, 07:50 AM

I've voted 9 because I misread the title and thought it referred to the album. The actual song gets a 10 from me- both trippy and anthemic, perfect!

gman · 11-30-2009, 08:45 AM

Scored it an 8

Yahweh_OMG · 11-30-2009, 10:12 AM

funny how Ultra Violet is now better than Acrobat....
