Is Running to Stand Still the best U2 song?

[Iamblossom]

Discuss

Angel of Harlem
All I Want Is You

I finish my run to Beautiful Day

Some good choices such as All I want is you and Unforgettable Fire.
But it has to be Drowning Man from the War album.

Also love all I want us you and with or without you

This is such a great thread. I spent all evening happily listening to U2 songs I hadn't listened to in years. I'd forgotten how amazing they are.

I like most if these as well as October and Gloria

And bad. So much better than the Michael Jackson version ;)

And trip through your wires.
I think I need a u2 fest tonight

Vertigo for me

Red Hill mining town
Bullet the blue sky
One hundred... Two hundred

God I'd forgotten how great U2 are

"All went wrong with The Joshua Tree and Bono became a twat."

Absolutely. His hat lives in Holland for tax purposes.

• Every time I clap my hands a child in Africa dies.

• Well stop fucking clapping, then!

Have spent the afternoon listening to U2 (Alexa's mixed the tunes ) whilst I decorated DS's room.

Songs I hadn't listened to in so long: Red Hill Mining town,
Stuck in a moment (didn't Bono write that about Michael Hutchence?)
Sometimes you can't make it on your own.
Who's going to ride your wild horses?

Stunning music.

It's only me who likes Elevation then?

The Unforgettable Fire makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, it’s just so so beautiful.
I also love Bad. LOVED them in the day, up to The Joshua Tree but less so after.

Yes completely agree. Basically when he started wearing sunglasses.
Although was wid horsea and the fly after that? They're quite good.

I’m not a U2 fan.
But Miss Sarajevo is really good.

The Fly
Mysterious Ways
Numb
The Troubles

Stealh I love trip through your wires, it’s such a joyful song. And Red Hill Mining Town is great too.

So many great songs and I have so many on my cycling playlists. I always put Vertigo on if I’ve got a long downhill trail ahead when I’m mountain biking.

All I want is you
A sort of Homecoming
Running to Stand Still
Elevation
Walk on
I love the end of Stay (faraway, so close) when it just...stops.
Until the End of the world

There are so many good ones.

A customer of mine went to U2's last tour and said he was really disappointed Bono seemed to use his platform to push his political agenda and had a rant about Brexit. He said a lot of the gig seemed geared towards it.

Said it completely ruined the concert/music.

Regardless of which side of the fence you graze, I can see how it would, tbh.

The Unforgettable Fire, One and Electrical Storm. Also love When All I Want is You and Magnificent....

In God’s country (will always be my total fave, on my own with this one)
Mysterious ways
Seconds

No as I was writing a precious post, in God's country came on and I remembered how brilliant it was.

I'm on my own with October so far I think :)

And I really like their cover of helter skelter

Thank you all- this thread is bringing back happy memories for me.
