OK, we here go pop pickers, it’s the U2 rate!
We’ll get the rate going officially from next Wednesday (12 June), but before then I’d like to give everyone an opportunity to nominate one U2 track that isn’t on the below list of hit singles. Please post your nomination in this thread - just one per user. I’ll accept any official U2 release, be it on an EP, album, single that didn’t chart, or B side etc. Also solo work can be considered. Please post your nominations for your wildcard by 23:59 on Tuesday 11 June. Achtung Baby! All Because of You All I Want Is You Angel of Harlem A Celebration City of Blinding Lights Beautiful Day Desire Discotheque Electrical Storm Elevation Even Better Than the Real Thing Fire The Fly Get On Your Boots Gloria Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me If God Will Send His Angels I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight In God’s Country Invisible I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For Last Night On Earth Magnificent Miss Sarajevo Mysterious Ways New Year’s Day One One (Mary J Blige recording) Please Pride The Saints Are Coming Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own Staring at the Sun Stay Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of Sweetest Thing Two Hearts Beat as One The Unforgettable Fire Vertigo Walk On When Love Comes to Town Where the Streets Have No Name Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses Window in the Skies With or Without You XXX This post has been edited by chartjack2: Wednesday, 06:56 PM |

A question about Even Better Than the Real Thing springs to mind. It charted twice in 2 different versions. Are we only to rate the standard single version and not the Oakenfold remix?
Also Bullet the Blue Sky is a great choice. That's one down from my list of 5 potentials to suggest. |

Re: Even Better…, I’ve always classified remixes as the same single as the original, despite what the OCC tells me haha. This is distinct from re-recordings - so the Mary Blige duet gets a separate entry. Hope I’m not being too controversial?

My knowledge of U2 isn’t deep enough to wildcard but if someone wants to suggest a few possibilities I’d be happy to listen to them and pick my favourite. I imagine others may be in that boat too.

QUOTE(Riser @ 6th June 2024, 03:48 AM) 'Ordinary Love' please! THIS!!!! But since it's already been nominated i'll give my wildcard to God Pt II. Will need to do some general extra listening for the sake of this rate though, i'm not hugely knowledgable of their whole discography. |
