    You know mine! It always bothers me when I read U2byU2 that the band don't think much of In God's Country. They pretty much politely say "it's a shit song". I love that song.
  2. My girlfriend really likes Red Hill Mining Town. I like it too, not a standout track but not a complete dud.

    In God's Country is a great song. The version on Rattle & Hum (the movie) is amazing.

    Oh yeah. Would be better if they didn't cut out a verse, but as it is it's still great. When Bono snippeted it at the Rose Bowl show, when it was being streamed live, I was like "whoaaa! Wasn't expecting that! "
  5. My least favorite song on JT is Exit, but I need a disclaimer. I just didnt get it whenever I listened to it. But when I heard it live, I felt like I finally understood it. It makes me appreciate a lot more having heard it live. The energy they put into it, like on R&H, is what makes it such a great song.
  6. That's an easy question, Trip Through Your Wires.
  7. I ADORE Red Hill Mining Town. I love singing it in dueto with my mom, she sings the Bono lines and I sing harmonies (a 5th usually) above that - pretty hard but incredibly gorgeous sounding and much fun to do
  8. I once came across a website that was called something like "complete the Joshua Tree" and it was an extended tracklisting featuring a bunch of the b-sides in a certain running order on the album. The guy who made it basically said you can't understand "this" song (ex. Trip Through Your Wires) without "this" song, (ex, Walk Through The Water). I can't remember what his match-ups were, or what the running order was, but I never got a chance to try it out. Would've liked to. Can't find it anymore though.
  9. Red Hill Mining Town is a great song.
  10. I know the site you mean, saw it not too long ago. It was meant to be how the album would run over a double-set.

    Least favourite song on JT - honestly couldn't pick one. Every song is brilliant. Those notes on Red Hill - I have some trouble reaching them but if I'm singing ridiculously high - which I like to do, I can try.
