I really feel "IGWSHA" has some of the most awkward writing Bono has ever delivered
the blind leading the blond

I couldn't agree more, especially about the blind/blond line. IGWSHA is a song where I enjoy the music, but don't enjoy the lyrics.

whether or not this is snide (can't tell over the internet): ASOH is one of my top songs, as well, but it can't compare lyrically.
edit: are you a costello fan, by the way?
I always enjoy being labelled a POP hater just because it's my last fav U2 record (are 80% of the people here being called October haters?)wertsie said:

bullet the blue sky said:Is Please the best song U2 has ever written? Five years ago I sent a message to some long forgotten website that the band may as well put their instruments down now because they won't write a better song than Please, and so far I have been proven right.
You only have to look at how versatile the song is to realise how good it is. Musically and lyrically it is fantastic and transcends many genres such as hip-hop, rock etc. Personally, I think my favourite version of Please is the one from the VMAs in 1997.

Like someone to blame said:Please is a wonderful song...but "please" don't discount the earlier material or the very latest when considering this question.
