TS: "Running To Stand Still" vs. "Bad"

Geir says "Running To Stand Still" is the best thing U2 ever did. I say "Bad" is the same song, but better. Esp. the live version. Whose cuisine reigns supreme?

"Bad" by whom?
(Obv. not Michael Jackson)

Same because they are both about heroin?

Bad is great

Yes, and also because both use a midtempo I-IV-I-IV pattern for the verses, building to a big V chorus (Running) or bridge (Bad). Though to be fair Running To Stand Still does have a harmonica part iirc...

Both suck, but "Running To Stand Still" is more tolerable.
