What are your favourite 3 songs in sequence on HTDAAB?

[achtung y'all]

The three tracks that in a row make the stongest trio. Not, for example, 1), 5) and 9) but sequencially.

Mine are:
3) Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
4) Love and Peace or Else
5) City of Blinding Lights

Together they represent what U2 does best: uplifting ballad, slightly experimental and differing, and powerful energetic cityscape.

Your best 3-in-a-row songs?

 

[RABIDLAMB]

City of Blinding Lights
All Because of You
A Man & A Woman

 

[Tizer]

I was wondering when this would come up...

not easy on this album which I think shows the strength of it..

This will change, as all 'favourite' selections do, but at the moment..

Last three.

 

[AEON]

Crumbs
OSC
OOTS

[MissVelvetDress_75]

[Needle_Chill]

Definitely Crumbs From Your Table, One Step Closer, Original Of The Species.

It feels like a mini-journey within the larger journey of the album. OSC links the two other together so well. Even the first time I listened to the album, I felt like something began with Crumbs (like a theme), and then the way OOTS ends, it feels like an end to that same something. I think OOTS should close the shows on tour, much like Walk On...
