Hi!
I was listening to Rattle and Hum and I'm wondering if you skip songs when listening to a U2 album. And if you do, which songs are you usually skip?
Here are mine: Boy: Twilight; A Day Without Me; Another Time, Another Place; Shadows And Tall Trees October: I Fall Down, Rejoice, Fire, With A Shout, Stranger In A Strange Land, Scarlet, Is That All? War: Sunday Bloody Sunday, Like A Song, Drowning Man, The Refugee, Two Hearts Beat As One, Surrender The Unforgettable Fire: none The Joshua Tree: none Rattle And Hum: every live track, except Helter Skelter Achtung Baby!: So Cruel, Trying To Throw You Arms... Zooropa: none Pop: none All That You Can't Leave Behind: In A Little While, Wild Honey, Peace On Earth, When I Look At The World How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb: none No Line On The Horizon: Magnificent, Get On Your Boots, Stand Up Comedy, White As Snow
These are the songs which I usually (90%) skip during an ordinary listening.
