Well, is it?
And if not, which song is better?
Alright..............
Go!
And if not, which song is better?

Go!

The Slow Loris said:Back to the original point of the thread! Is 402 the best post 1991 song to date? And if not, which is it?!
Can no one but J_NP answer this simple question?

Back to what you're all dying to know. 402, in its original incarnation, is the greatest thing since sliced avacado with a side of shrimp. What it will sound like in its final incarnation, however, is something only the gods can possibly understand or even pretend to know. As for the original incarnation, it is indeed better than 'Beautiful Day', better than 'Kite', better than anything on HTDAAB, and better than 'Gone'. It doesn't reach the emotional hights of 'One' or 'Miss Sarajevo', but then, what does? 'With or Without You', sure, but not much else.
This is a different kind of song. And you might not see it for a while, despite the rumours of being on the latest compilation album. But don't worry, Headache in a Suitcase, one day it will be your asperin.
Utoo, you are gifted in ways you don't yet know. You must be smart, since we agree on practically everything.
Dorian Gray, you have one of the best names here at Interference. As for me, I don't have a name. I'm just a Loris.

But there are six U2 songs I hate more.

The Sun The Moon The Stars
Piano intro verses:
When we pushed ourselves over
When we swam further down under
And ran on through that oh so slippery way
It was the sun, the moon, the stars that melted away
The fire in the night that pulled our dreams away
Into the orange and the gold
Against an open sea, an open sea
Into your arms, not needing to breathe
And waves now come crashing in
Bringing me back under your skin
It was through your liquid shards
And the sun the moon, the Stars...
Chorus:
And she finds her way just as you look away
You walk on by in the shadow she kept for you
Behind the candle she lit for you
In the ocean she pulled for you
And she slips away...
It was the sun, the moon, the stars...
Her eyes, the skylight in my afternoon
Her hands, the hourglass of this moment
She shall not pass, shall not pass
It was the sun, the moon, the stars
Never to fall through
No, she shall not pass
Verse:
And so she goes as the eyes of the world are closed
As the kings in high places lose control
The Earth becoming the friend betrayed
A pearl in a sea, not to fade, not to fade
Below these skies, a world still breathing
A firefly at dusk keeps singing...oh,
hmmmyeah...[scat singing in falsetto]
Chorus:
And she finds her way just as you look away
You walk on by in the shadow she kept for you
In the candle she lit for you
In the ocean she pulled for you
And she slips away
It was the sun, the moon the stars...[scat singing]
The skylight in my afternoon
Her hands, the hourglass of this moment
She shall not pass, shall not pass
For it was the sun, the moon, the stars...
Reprise:
Never to fall through
Never to die out
Never to fall out
Never to drop out
Never to cry out
Never to burn out
Never to fade out
Never to pass on through
No, for this shall not pass...
Outro Verses:
And sometimes I fall away against the night
Under the crack that lets through the light
Pushed inside, it's only of you
Yeah, it's candlelight
Through the window explosions seep in
The lights in the sky all turn dim
Beyond silence I hear your cry
Yeah, beyond it all, the buzz and firefly
And so I fall away into arms
Beyond the sun, the moon and the stars...
Mangoes for everyone!
