June 5, 20241 yr 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.
June 5, 20241 yr Author 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? :)
June 5, 20241 yr 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. :)
June 5, 20241 yr 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. :) Here's a few I was considering and some other well known non-hits (in chronological order) - Another Day 11 O'Clock Tick Tock A Day Without Me October Sunday Bloody Sunday A Sort of Homecoming Bad God Pt II Zooropa Numb Lemon Mofo
June 6, 20241 yr '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.
June 6, 20241 yr can the wildcard be anything? then Running to Stand Still, the lost single that never was from The Joshua Tree other amazing songs: Love is Blindness Until the end of the world In God's country Sunday bloody sunday
June 6, 20241 yr can the wildcard be anything? then Running to Stand Still, the lost single that never was from The Joshua Tree other amazing songs: Love is Blindness Until the end of the world In God's country Sunday bloody sunday In God's Country was a hit. It was a US single that charted here on import. it's in the list already, thankfully
June 6, 20241 yr Here's a few I was considering and some other well known non-hits (in chronological order) - Another Day 11 O'Clock Tick Tock A Day Without Me October Sunday Bloody Sunday A Sort of Homecoming Bad God Pt II Zooropa Numb Lemon Mofo Thanks - I like “Sunday Bloody Sunday” but I’ll go for “Numb” as I found it the most interesting.
June 8, 20241 yr Would the Mission Impossible theme count? I do at least quite like that. I really can't think of any U2 song I would like that isn't already there and don't want to bloat the list for the sake of it
June 9, 20241 yr Author Yep the Mission Impossible theme counts - do you want to add it? Btw, I’m not expecting everyone to rank everything on the final list - just 1st to 25th :)
June 9, 20241 yr Author As a recap these are the wildcards at the moment - Bad Bullet the Blue Sky God Pt II I Will Follow Miracle Drug Numb Ordinary Love Running to Stand Still Sunday Bloody Sunday Theme from Mission: Impossible
