I’m not in agreement but that’s what’s great about u2 so many songs and different sounds we’ve got something to disagree about.

Very Zen. I should imagine I have a U2 song that I pretty much dislike and someone would really love. I think out of the entire canon it would have to be Get On Your Boots. Utter rubbish!

Originally posted by blueeyedboy:While there is nothing that I despise I like 1/2 of NLOTH, 1/2 of Zooropa - could definitely do without Miami... I just think Boots is full of clever and cheeky lyrics.... and it would actually fit into the theme of the set now...

Interesting I’m with you in regards to Miami and NLOTH. I love Zooropa though. I don’t really despise much though either. My least favourite u2 albums are my least favourite only because of a couple of songs. I dislike about an albums worth of songs in there entire catalogue.

We all listen different things. As baffling as is to you why some of us consider it one of their best, the same happens the other way around, I can't understand why so many people hates it.

It's one of those few songs that the moment it starts, it makes me stop doing whatever I'm doing, I end up emotionally exhausted after listening to it... to me it gives me the exact same vibes I get from Bad, Mercy and Little Things... similar to TUF or Zooropa.

And like I said, on the other hand, I don't get the love for ASOH or for Wild Horses, which while I don't hate them, I find them very forgettable... or Do You Feel Loved, which is in fact one of those songs that I do consider among their worst, and many people loves them.

I really find this "phenomenon" quite fascinating, because we clearly are listening the same thing, and we all like U2, but somehow we perceive it in such a different way (from "one of their best" to "one of their worst"), that is really like some cosmic joke.

And then, there's the people that said that "all U2 songs sound the same"
