Vertigo Vs Desire

[STING2]

I just thought this would be an interesting comparison since both are rock tunes about 3 minutes in length and both are the first release from an album.

Vote for which one you like best. VERTIGO gets my vote! I like Desire, but I think VERTIGO is a better song. I'm interested to see what other people think.

Ehh... I never got into Desire. Quite frankly it is my least favorite song from Rattle and Hum. Meanwhile Vertigo rocks the house, so it gets me vote

I think this is slightly pointless as I love both.

 

[bcrt2000]

okay Vertigo vs. Elevation was warranted, but Desire is very different from Vertigo

 

[popacrobat]

who cares if its different? Why cant you compare what you like/dontlike about the songs and which you like better?


this is tough for me, because i like desire, but it can really sometimes lose its luster for me. right now, I like vertigo more. but, i really like both songs a lot.

Hmm. If we could vote on the basis of live performances, Desire would get my vote on the basis of the AMAZING Lovetown performances. But we're only talking studio, so it has to be Vertigo.

This was my opinion, if you looked at my post in Vertigo vs. Elevation, I defended that post and posted a few opinions

 

[u2head]

I just heard Vertigo a few mins ago... I agree, Desire, is very different from Vertigo (which to me sounds more like Discoteque). And I think Discoteque's better...

 

[popacrobat]

gotcha, i misread your post, sorry about that

 

[ylimeU2]

Tough call. "Desire" is one of my all time favorites, so I want to say that. I'm going to try to be objective with myself (Is this even possible?). While "Desire" is one of my top ten favorites, I enjoyed "Vertigo" the first time I heard it. That seldom is the case with me, and I don't remember if I liked "Desire" the first time I heard it (but I doubt it) so based on that, my vote is for "Vertigo".

 

[A_Wanderer]

Vertigo, I too never got into Desire.

Are you sure you heard Vertigo? It's nothing like Discotheque if you ask me.

 

[BonoFox1]

I GUESS IF I WANT TO CLAP AND CRUISE DOWN SUNSET BLVD IN HOLLYWOOD I WOULD BLAST DESIRE...
AND IF IM IN THE MOOD TO "POGO" I WOULD DEFINATELY BLAST VERTIGO!

OK I KNOW THAT WAS NOT THE QUESTION ..BUT JUST LUV EM BOTH SO MUCH!

 

[kennerado]

Hey BonoFox I THINK YOU NEED TO TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK. Now the hollywood remix of desire is cool, but Vertigo is too new to compare just now.

Vertigo without doubt

I'll second that. All capital letters can get very annoying very fast.

 

[intedomine]

VERTIGO, ive never intentionally singled out desire to listen out individually

 

[RademR]

God, I hate these comparing things.....

 

[RademR]

I friggin love "desire", it's my favorite song when I'm working out or getting up in the morning. I think how Bono sings "O Sister, I can't let you go...." is one of the most classic lines I've ever heard in my life!!! Desire is absoutely phenominal, as is very short and in your face like "Vertigo." But like Ive said a few times already, it is only a week old so how can you compare songs? Their both perfection to me (except the "captain" line in the beginning).

 

[Sonic]

Vertigo gets my vote

 

[roelie]

I vote for Vertigo

 

[isabelle_guns]

vertigo is my choice

 

[digsy]

you dont like the captain line!!

i looooooooove the captain bit
in fact i've started referring to people at work as "captain"
they dont seem to mind, it makes them feel important

 

[digsy]

oh, and vertigo gets my vote too - quite possibly simply because it's all i want to hear right now, over and over again!
its got me really excited

if we could come back to this post in about 5 years or so again and then maybe my excitement will have work down and i can judge without bias!

Vertigo 6
Desire 6

game called in the top of the 6th

(because this is dumb and comparing two songs from two different eras is like trying to compare two baseball players from different eras)

If you think its "dumb", why bother responding to the thread? The band has to make these comparisons all the time when they do the setlist for each tour.

 

[youtwohearts]

Well I would have to say Vertigo today because I have heard Desire so many times. In a year I may change that answer.
