A few weeks ago before the album came out and a bootlegged version of City Of Blinding Lights emerged, everyone was quick to jump over it.
"A U2 epic right up there with Streets."
"Definitely among my top three U2 songs of all time."
"So beautiful I didn't think U2 still could write a song such as this."
But then I told people that it isn't a U2 epic by any stretch of the imagination. The people started saying I was extremely negative and all.
Well, now after a few listens, do you guys honestly still think City Of Blinding Lights surpasses or at least is right up there with U2 epics the likes of Where The Streets Have No Name and Bad? Is it among your top five U2 songs of all time?
As it stands now it seems like the song isn't even on the top three for best songs in the album anymore! I've checked the past three pages of posts on this forum and hardly any City Of Blinding Lights gushing threads anymore. As a matter of fact, there seem to be more Mercy gushing threads!
So what has happened? Did the song quickly wane after a few listens? Did the COBL gushers hid back in their hole? Where are you guys now? Do you still like the song as when you first heard it?
Cheers,
