Beautiful Day for me, but willing to entertain the thought of Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kill Me, Kiss Me or The Fly or Last Night on Earth.

oops Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me rather

"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"

That shit right there is precedented. (cryptosicko), Saturday, 7 March 2015 05:36 (eleven years ago)

Stay is a huge contender for me now that I am thinking hard about this

lots of feels with that song

Wild Horses
Mysterious Ways
Hold Me Thrill Me

hmm

Am I a savage if I hate Mysterious Ways with a white hot fire?

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 7 March 2015 05:42 (eleven years ago)

no

i get how it could be infuriating. i kind of love the cadence of the lyrics

'The Fly'

Although having said that, the video makes me hate Bono even more...

Lemon.

You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Saturday, 7 March 2015 11:17 (eleven years ago)

Until the End of the World, just ahead of Zoo Station and Stay

Lemon

Kitchen Person, Saturday, 7 March 2015 15:07 (eleven years ago)

I actually think Lemon is the best song they've ever done. Stay would be close behind.

the fly

still sends shivers up my spine
my first listen was in Leeds virgin megastore, and I had no idea who it was
then when I found out it was u2 I had to rethink my opinion of them.

I like the bit where the guitar comes in at around one minute in and it sounds like someone dropping a steel girder.

Window In The Skies, by far. I still don't understand how this wasn't their biggest hit.

kornrulez6969, Saturday, 7 March 2015 15:44 (eleven years ago)

mysterious ways, maybe

post you had fecund thoughts about (darraghmac), Saturday, 7 March 2015 16:09 (eleven years ago)

The part in "The Fly" near the end when the solo gets temporarily relegated to the background as Bono sings in his silly falsetto = goose pimples.

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 7 March 2015 16:21 (eleven years ago)

"unknown caller"

The Wanderer

piscesx, Saturday, 7 March 2015 17:23 (eleven years ago)

my answer is "hold me thrill me" but i also always forget how much "lemon" rules

give me a band that is only the aesthetic of those songs

insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Saturday, 7 March 2015 19:53 (eleven years ago)

"The part in "The Fly" near the end when the solo gets temporarily relegated to the background as Bono sings in his silly falsetto = goose pimples."

^^^ OTM

vmajestic, Saturday, 7 March 2015 19:59 (eleven years ago)

Yeah that moment in The Fly is incredible. Love the solo, one of my favourites ever.

Kitchen Person, Saturday, 7 March 2015 20:20 (eleven years ago)

agreed.
it really was a massive WTF moments given the bands history up until that point.

mark e, Saturday, 7 March 2015 20:36 (eleven years ago)

had a mini roadtrip this morning, relistened to zooropa

stay is so huge, i just love it. and the way it just *BOOM* ends is great
