What are your Top 5 favorite Achtung Baby songs?

[PopTart Pamela]

WGTRYWH
One
So Cruel
Zoo Station
The Fly

 

[Pate20]

This is harder than it seems. I have to leave 7 groundbreaking songs behind!

• One
• Even better than the real thing
• Love is blindness
• Zoo Station
• Mysterious ways

 

[Diemen]

One
Love Is Blindness
Acrobat
Mysterious Ways
So Cruel

Damn that's hard to narrow down after the first couple! This is definitely not set in stone. I could easily replace So Cruel and/or Mysterious Ways with either UTEOTW, Fly, WGRYWH or Ultraviolet.

In the beginning, the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry, and been widely regarded as a bad move. --Douglas Adams (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe)

 

[U2girl]

The whole album's great, but it's easy, because i always listen to these 5 first:

So cruel
One
Light my way (Ultraviolet)
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world

be uncool, yes be awkward

STUDIO

5. Love is blindness (very close with Even better than the real thing)

LIVE:

1. Until the end of the world
2. Mysterious Ways
3. Love is blindness
4. One (Zoo Tv versions take the cake, but now and especially during POPMART, his voice just sometimes didn't make it)
5. The Fly

2 until the end of the world

For the record I love the whole album but here are the top 5, for this week anyway.

In no particular order:

-Zoo Station-AB just wouldn't be AB w/o that opener.
-Even Better Than the Real Thing- It's great to dance to & I have a great concert memory from that song.
-OneThe perfect song, powerful lyrics, beautiful music and Bono's voice, awww...
-Until the End of the WorldThe Edge's guitar alone makes it a favorite.
-Mysterious WaysWho could resist this poetic lyrics & sensual music?Love it!

 

[Salome]

• The Fly
• One
• Until the End of the World
• Love is Blindness
• Mysterious Ways (because of the live version)

I really think those first 4 songs are great!
