[madonna's child]

streets- 9.8
ISHFWILF- 8
WOWY-8.5
bullet- 8
running to stand still- 10 (but only because it's one of my fave U2 songs EVER, i'm biased)
RHMT- 6
in god's country- 7
TTYW- 6
one tree hill- 7.5
exit- 5
mothers of the disappeared- 5.5

...according to my rating, the album weakens during the second half, though i've never thought of it that way. strange.

JT rules

 

[Michael Griffiths]

The most perfect, but -- dare I say -- not the most complete U2 album...

The Joshua Tree:

Where The Streets Have No Name - 10
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - 10
With or Without You - 10
Bullet The Blue Sky - 8
Running To Stand Still - 10
Red Hill Mining Town - 9
In God's Country - 9
Trip Through Your Wires - 8
One Tree Hill - 9.5
Exit - 8
Mothers of the Disappeared - 10

Wow, what an amazing album. Not one track below an 8 (for me), and five 10's. U2 obviously tapped into something special with this one.

The Tempest

 

[Roland of Gilead]

At this point in the grading, I have only given one 10 to a song. (Bad)

Luminous Times......6
Walk to the Water......8.5
Spanish Eyes......8.5
Deep in the Heart......7
Silver and Gold......8.5
Sweetest Thing......8
Race Against Time......4

The Album

Where the Streets Have No Name......10

Running to Stand Still......10
Red Hill Mining Town......9
In God's Country......9
Trip Thru Your Wires......7
One Tree Hill......10

We are talking about the Greatest Album of the 80's and quite possibly the Greatest Album of All Time.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Where The Streets Have No Name - 10
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - 9
With or Without You - 10
Bullet The Blue Sky - 9
Running To Stand Still - 10
Red Hill Mining Town - 8
In God's Country - 8
Trip Through Your Wires - 9.5
One Tree Hill - 8.5

Great Album. No doubt. I wonder why most of you underrate Trip Through Your Wires that much! I love the mouth organ at the beginning.

WHY such a downer on ISHFWIALF ????? The greatest comment on man-kind (well, woman-kind too), and the best (by a short neck, from One) U2 song ever. I sense a personal problem here - this being the lowest score I have seen for a U2 song on this forum.
