by the way
when I look at my own list, never did it, it was a good single choice by u2, except for WH. Maybe 5th single could have been better Acrobat when I look at everybody's list. Or UTEOTW of course, it is a u2 classic now!

How can Zoo Station be number 11? It's just not right. That was so painful...sorry, I know I'm preaching to the choir, but this album is so damn good it pains me

But I will say, So Cruel is amazing!
AB is the greatest album of the last 30 years easily!

My two cents:
1. The Fly--absolutely blew me away the first time I ever heard it . . . and still does to this day
2. One--lyrics and vocal delivery, nothing else need be said
3. Until the End of the World
4. Zoo Station--after 80's U2, who would have ever thought a U2 song would sound like it was channeling a manufacturing plant
5. The Acrobat--sounds like Edge's guitar is bleeding; just brilliant
6. Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around the World--I like this song a lot. I don't care what anyone says.
7. Even Better Than The Real Thing
8. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)---Really good song, but I always cringe at the lines, "When I was all messed up and I heard opera in my head/Your love was a light-bulb hanging over my bed" Painful.
9. So Cruel--"I'm only hanging on to watch you go down . . . my love". Now there's an AWESOME lyric. So nasty, so black.
10. Mysterious Ways--before the album came out, KROQ was playing some of the songs, and MW was touted as being the best one on the album and better than The Fly. I was so looking forward to it and when I finally heard it I was very disappointed. It didn't click with me at all. That feeling for this song has never really left me.
11. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses--would be higher on my list if it was the single version; not too keen on the album version
12. Love Is Blindness
Ok, thanks for whetting my appetite for AB. I'm going to go and fall asleep now listening to it on my iPod.
Nite all!

Wow, The Fly beat out Until the End of the World! That's very surprising, given how many people have put UTEOTW on their top 10 list.
Thanks for doing this!

1.The Fly - easy choice, my fav U2 song, ever, truned my opinion of them from a good band to a great band....and so the obsession began!
2.Zoo Station - funky, dark, different, brilliant
3.One - beautiful building song, great climax, the lyrcis speak to everyone
4.UTEOTW - great lyrics, great riff
5.EBTTRT - cool rock song, although the video gives me a headache with that spinning camera
6.So Cruel - chilled out tune, allows the listener to pick up on the touching lyrics
7.Mysterious ways - very funky tune although it's better live
8.Ultraviolet - i like this a lot, good intro
9. Love is blindness
10.Trying to throw..
11.Acrobat - i don't understand the praise that is lavished on this song, it's good, don't get me wrong, but it didn't re-invent the wheel or anything
12. Who's gonna ride your wild horses
GREAT album, god that was hard.

Man... Acrobat is probably the most complete song U2 has ever done! Every band member shines here. Great balls-y lyrics from Bono. Earth-shaking drums by Mullen. Spine-tingling riffing by the Edge. Amazing stand-out bass lines from Clayton. Sure, it wasn't a big hit or a single. It's such a well-constructed rock song.

It's really hard to do especially cos the order changes all the time. Right now, I wouldn't put Acrobat at no. 2 like I did before but maybe the Fly or Until The End instead.
By the way, cool avatar!
