  1. Blackout and Love Is All We Have Left in top 3 are really nice surprises
  2. You guys are just lucky I got here late and only voted once - otherwise The Showman would've stayed afloat a lot longer.
  3. Am I the only one who thinks Red Flag Day deserved the top 5?

    (Apparently, yes )

    Anyway, my top 5 would be (tryin' to consider studio versions, not live improvements):

    1. Red Flag Day
    2. Landlady
    3. The Showman (Litlle More Better)
    4. The Little Things That Give You Away (as I said, talking about studio version)
    5. The Blackout
  4. In the case of RFD it's live worsening I was SO disappointed with it in 2018, I loved the song in studio but live it was completely plain and unexciting.

    Hard to argue with it, although LoH and RFD are two of my favourites as well. Such a strong LP.
  6. I think if SoL wasn't performed live in 2018 it wouldn't have made the top 5. The live performances gave it a new life.

    Not sure if serious or plain sarcasm.

    SOL was the very first and only time I've been truly bored at a U2 show. And I ADORE the song in studio (even knowing it's not theirs).

    Excuse me - the Worst Thing was played before it.
  9. Huh, I honestly don't even remember it. I had to check the setlist to make sure You're right, but AT LEAST some of the crowd knew The Best Thing and sung along. During SOL the arena was just a dead body, and the (really moving) visuals from the refugees in the sea halfway through the song were the defibrillator.

    yeah I agree, I didn't like the live versions, although the Berlin one wasn't that bad
  11. I like SOE, but for me Love is Bigger (studio version) is one the worst song... this song have no taste... I prefer the live or the acoustic vesrsion
