i don't really think many people care.

Vlad n U 2 · 11-05-2009, 05:59 AM

An 8 again. It's the opener of Zoo TV and Achtung, what can I say?

intedomine · 11-05-2009, 06:53 AM

She's Gonna Blow Your House Down, sounds pretty complete, and I do like Take Today as it is, before it evolved into North and South of the River....

Achtung time!

Zoo Station, best song on U2's best album, easy 10, timeless, incredible moment in the U2 catalogue.

a ten, perhaps not so much for the song itself, but just how awesome it sounds, and how great a job it does as kicking off the band's 180.

and, for those with a keen ear, it was the theme song to the australian football videos

intedomine · 11-05-2009, 07:43 AM

The Decade That Delivered in particular!

cobl04 · 11-05-2009, 07:46 AM

i've still got that. i also have 1996 the centenary season that was, and 1995 Cool Cats. i rewatch them all the time.

8. Great opener for AB, but not an over-the-top-amazing song in its own right.

Also, I'm glad to be in the nineties, and can't wait to give every third song a ten.

Vlaco · 11-05-2009, 08:13 AM

Gave it an 8.

Axver · 11-05-2009, 08:33 AM

Ugh, AIWIY third? Ahead of Heartland? Come on.

For out-takes, let's do I Feel Free and Take You Down.

As for ZS, 7. Good, not great.

fuck the fly. to me, this song sums up achtung baby for me. this and zooropa is what 90s u2 were all about, and why it'll always be my favourite decade of theirs.

F'in awesome opener, one of the best tracks ever to blast in the car.

gvox · 11-05-2009, 10:18 AM

Let's take a run at Don't Take Your Guns To Town, also.

JoRu · 11-05-2009, 10:23 AM

7. I love the chorus and I'm starting to like the effects they've put on Bono's voice, but not a song I listen to very often. Works great in the context of the album but not a song I choose if I'm gonna listen to a couple of random U2 songs.
