Weakest Track on Each Album

[Oregoropa]

Can we agree 'Freedom for my People' doesn't count

01) Boy - Shadows and Tall Trees
02) October - Stranger in a Strange Land
03) War - Red Light
04) The Unforgettable Fire - 4th of July
05) The Joshua Tree - Mothers of the Disappeared
06) Rattle & Hum - Love Rescue Me
07) Achtung Baby - So Cruel
08) Zooropa - The Wanderer
09) Pop - Wake Up Dead Man
10) ATYCLB - Grace
11) HTDAAB - Love and Peace or Else
12) NLOTH - Stand Up Comedy
13) Songs of Innocence - Volcano

Pop was the toughest one to pick, I was just never a fan of WUDM.
LAPOE just seems so contrived to me.

This really isn't fair. For instance, Achtung Baby has no weak tracks, and NLOTH has at least three. Seems like NLOTH could take one for team AB here and that's how my list would go, should i ever compile one:

01) Boy -
02) October -
03) War -
04) The Unforgettable Fire -
05) The Joshua Tree -
06) Rattle & Hum -
07) Achtung Baby - NONE
08) Zooropa -
09) Pop -
10) ATYCLB -
11) HTDAAB -
12) NLOTH - Stand Up Comedy, GOYB, IGCIIDGCT (three way tie)
13) Songs of Innocence -

"Weak" doesn't mean that I hate them, cause I don't (unless you're Grace, Peace on Earth or Elvis Ate America).

 

[LemonMelon]

No Line on the Horizon - Cedars of Lebanon

I will never in a million years understand this opinion.

 

[iron yuppie]

I will never in a million years understand this opinion.

Not as strange as Breathe being the worst track.

Boy- Shadows and Tall Trees (this one was really hard)
October- Is That All? (this one was really hard, because there's a few really bad ones)
War- Red Light
Unforgettable Fire- 4th of July
Joshua Tree- Trip through your wires
Rattle and Hum- Love Rescue Me
Achtung Baby- I guess either So Cruel or TTTYAATW... hard to say
Zooropa- Numb
Passengers- Ito Okashi
Pop- U2 wrote Miami
ATYCLB- Peace on Earth
HTDAAB- All Because of you
NLOTH- GOYB or SUC... I can't decide, both are atrocious
SOI- Volcano (unless we're counting the bonus tracks, in that case "Lucifer's Hands" is worse than Volcano, IMO)

 

[Mack_Again]

I don't get the hate for Volcano, sure it's not the best one but I thought SFS sounded weaker imo. #sorrynotsorry

[The Panther]

I'll never understand people's hate on for 'Love Rescue Me'. It's probably in my top-20 U2 songs.

Can we all agree that "Get on your Boots", "I'll Go Crazy Tonight-or-whatever", and "Stand Up Comedy" take the cake as their 3 worst-ever songs released on an LP?

 

[Salome]

Can we all agree that "Get on your Boots", "I'll Go Crazy Tonight-or-whatever", and "Stand Up Comedy" take the cake as their 3 worst-ever songs released on an LP?

I prefer all 3 to If God Will Send His Angels, Playboy Mansion, Ultraviolet (Light My Way), Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car, Some Days are Better than Others, The Refugee and probably a dozen others.
So, no.

Songs of Innocence - Song for Someone

Trying to pick the "worst" song was hard for Boy and AB, my 2 favourite albums without any weak track IMO.
SOI is also very very solid bu lacks 1-2 big hits, otherwise it would be top 3.

 

[The Panther]

I prefer all 3 to If God Will Send His Angels, Playboy Mansion, Ultraviolet (Light My Way), Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car, Some Days are Better than Others, The Refugee and probably a dozen others.
So, no.

Let me guess this straight... you prefer "I'll Go Crazy Tonight" and "Stand Up Comedy" to "Ultraviolet"...?

(Jus' yankin' yer chain. Different Strokes, etc.)

 

[LemonMelon]

Everyone is off the hook. Someone just said Tomorrow is the worst song on October.

Haha! Good looking out.

If Bullet was on any ther album, it wouldn't be the weakest. Same with Love is Blindness. Those albums are so strong that a strong song will be weakest.

 

[FazeCraze]

You have some crazy picks! Some of them are my favourite songs....

If it makes you feel better, a lot of your weakest were my second-weakest.

03) War - Red Light
04) The Unforgettable Fire - Elvis Presley & America
05) The Joshua Tree - Trip Through Your Wires

The only only songs I genuinely dislike are Stranger in a Strange Land, Red Light, Elvis Presley & America and Stand Up Comedy.

Another Time, Another Place, All Along the Watchtower, A Man and a Woman and Volcano are simply meh, the rest are unfortunately the weakest of some fantastic bunches.
