Song Wars: Acrobat vs. Love is Blindness

[discothequeLP]

Ok...now with the great Survivor series gone, I'm going full on postal.


What song is better: Acrobat or Love is Blindness?


I'll get to the point...


LIB Rox the house!

 

[pepokiss]

Acrobat... best U2 song ever.

... that was easy

 

[intedomine]

Mmm yeah ACROBAT is a better song for sure.....although love is blindness, is, a "blinder"

 

[MrBrau1]

Acrobat... best U2 song ever.

...that was easy pepokiss!

 

[Swan269]

Don't let the bastards grind you down is one of the best U2 lines of all time. Who the hell can't relate to that?

 

[bayernfc]

Acrobat

 

[madonna's child]

Acrobat

 

[Liesje]

Acrobat is the best song on Achtung Baby

 

[jacobus]

ACROBAT was always my favorite song on AB...
...wonder why they didn't play such a great song live?

 

[Axver]

I hate you, forcing me to pick between two of my favourite songs of all time! Well, not forcing ... but you get the point! Heh. I'd have to go with LIB, it can really stir emotions inside you and the live solo's just incredible.

 

[EvolutionMonkey]

Yeah but Ultraviolet is better than both those songs. Out of those two I would have to go for Love is Blindness because of the slow nature of the song which hits a nerve every time, in a good way.

 

[Corsair]

Love is Blindness, when performed live in an unhurried manner like in the first 2 legs of ZooTV tour really rocks.......

 

[gareth brown]

Acrobat.

 

[Bono's shades]

I love them both! I guess I will vote for Acrobat simply because of the line "Don't let the bastards grind you down."

Besides, it looks like it's going to win anyway!

 

[Numbology]

Acrobat..that alarm sound on the beginning....
Also my fav AB song (actually it's tied with The Fly)

 

[~*Buffalo*~]

Love is Blindness

Although Acrobat is pretty good also.

 

[wolfeden]

love is blindness.
all the way.

I never woke up after a night alone in my dorm room drinking all night and found "acrobat" scrawled in blood on the wall, let's leave it at that hey?

 

[discothequeLP]

Nice

 

[U2zoogirl]

***ACROBAT***

 

[Schmeg]

Acrobat. No question.

 

[sue4u2]

Now I'm forced to play AB. acrobat..rocks.

 

[Numb1075]

Acrobat - it took me 1 second to come up with that answer. It's a no-brainer

 

[Phalanx]

Love is Blindness. I have a live version of it, and Edge's solo is amazing.

 

[U2SJ]

Both songs are awesome... but Love is Blindness is one of the sexiest U2 songs imo

 

[beegee]

"don't let the bastards grind you down."

it's not really all that great a lyric. it's not even unique.

love is blindness is the better song.

 

[U2Kitten]

Both good but I'll vote for Acrobat.

 

[Tizer]

Love is Blindness.

Acrobat must be the most overrated U2 song on these boards. I remember reading a review of AB on it's release and it summed Acrobat up as 'aimless' and they have a point. And please..'Don't let the bastards..' was around long before U2.

 

[MrBrau1]

"Don't let the Bastards grind you down" I believe it was from a Yeats poem, which is just another reason Acrobat is u2's best song ever, well above the Top 40 "One."

 

[Achtung_Man87]

Acrobat!

 

[u2grace]

An impossible choice - but I'm going with LIB, cause it gives me the chills!

By the way, has anyone else bought the Artists United for Africa CD, all covers of U2 songs by Christian artists? Sixpense None the Richer does LIB and I think it's the best song on the album - really interesting to hear a woman sing it.
