Bullet and Bad are proper U2 classics. Elevation is pretty naff meanwhile.

Didn't point any of those 3, so I voted for 20 of the 21 left! Not surprised the one I didn't vote for is the highest such song, it could be here a while yet.

Aren't we getting all the voting details?

 

Walk On is a great single, their best from the 2000s for me

Pity about the subject. Cos the song is about Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi, who back in the day was on house arrest and a leader against the dictator. But things changed later and she became a sorta dictator herself once she got power too.

 

And too bad Running to Stand Still is gone, a true jewel and top 3 in their non-singles. I actually released their best non-single is Love is Blindness from Achtung Baby but forgot to nominate that one :D

Glad my wildcard made the top 20, 'I Will Follow' is very much an essential. The other two are the first to drop out from my top 10 (+17 and +18)
Running to Stand Still is the first of my top 10 to fall. I feel like my top 10 may be a little generic, aside from my second placed track that I’m slightly surprised hasn’t fallen yet

By the way, I’m very happy to do this again for another act so suggestions please :)

If you've never seen this video, it's a Bono solo version of Running to Stand Still

recorded for the Simon Foundation, a charity for the homeless in Dublin

 

goosebumps inducing!!!

 

 

 

 

 

All I Want is You is the gem from Rattle and Hum. Took me years and years to appreciate it but love it now. Took me learning how to play it on guitar and play it a few times with my friends to really appreciate it

 

Vertigo is ok I guess, at least it was a decent lead single.

 

Electrical Storm is nice too but I kinda forget it exists

 

 

I’ll share the voting spreadsheet at the end haha.

I don't get it, I'd rather see the votes as they happen, everybody does it like that

 

also, you could do a big of write up about the songs

People can wiki the songs if they’re bothered. I’m not going to copy and paste info tbh lol. I’m not certainly not going waste time writing a big summary for each song - I’ve got a life to lead hahaha

Edited by chartjack2

Personally, I wouldn't say it was a waste of time. A brief bit of background info on each track helps encourage others to engage with the discussion more.

 

As an aside, I would've been happy to help with the write ups and the same offer applies to any future rates.
