Respec' to dat person.

Springhill Mining Disaster

 

[financeguy]

Aha, you have outed yourself. I congratulate you.

 

[miss becky]

As much as I love their cover of Dancing Barefoot, I gotta go with Can't Help Falling in Love. That Zoo falsetto...nothing beats it.

 

[Irishteen]

All along the watchtower is my favourite.

 

[Palace_Hero]

Ahem ladies and gentlemen.

There is no 'Sattelite of Love'.

 

[financeguy]

Ooops, sorry I forgot that one. I'm sure there are others I forgot.

Actually maybe if a mod could edit to put in Satellite of Love as it is quite an important one?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Palace_Hero]

Everlasting Love and Unchained Melody also.

I'm not fussed but thought I'd point it out cos I was confused if they were forgotten or left off intentially.

 

[Palace_Hero]

Oh and Can't Help Falling in Love gets it for me. Awesome.

 

[financeguy]

Moderator, can we bling the above two in also? Thanks!

Having said that there is an option for "other" at the end.

 

[BigCat]

I voted for : Other (please name) for "Satellite of Love".

I'd have liked to choose several songs, like "Stand by Me" or "All Along the Watchtower", but impossible.

 

[MsMofoGone]

All Along The Watchtower

 

[discothequeLP]

I vote for Won't Get Fooled Again

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

...Slow Dancing is a cover now.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Hey, where is Whon't Get Fooled Again? Most of those songs were never played in it's full format just snippeted. WGFA was. I had to vote on others, dammit!

 

[Zoots]

I haven't heard most of these.

Of what I've heard I think I like Helter Skelter the best... maybe even more than the original! But I like Watchtower (dylan) and satellite (reed) too.

 

[financeguy]

Alright so I missed a few. Vote for the 'other' option if your favourite isn't on the list, it isn't that bleedin' difficult. And I don't bloody care if one or two of them are "only excerpts" they're still good.

 

[Infinity]

other--Won't Get Fooled Again

 

[popacrobat]

dancing barefoot

 

[Lancemc]

Oh God, there are so many good ones to choose from. I'll have to go with Unchained Melody though. I love Bono's vocals on this track, but the reason I picked it is because of how absolutely perfect it is bridging One to Until the End of the World during Zoo TV. Stunning.

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Dancing Barefoot. I've never heard Patti Smtihs original version of the song but U2s cover is positivally hypnotic!

[impy13]

Helter Skelter do do do do do do do do Helter Skelter

Do you dont you want me to love youuu

 

[timothius]

All Along The Watchtower...not for the R&H version but the New Year's Night version. It's definately top 5 for me in terms of U2 performances.

Desire -> Watchtower
