What is everyone's favorite combination of the Innocence and Experience albums? Do you make two discs - Innocence and Experience, both 5-7 tracks long? Blend the tracks together or start with innocence and move on to experience? Include both albums, Ordinary Love, Crystal Ballroom, Lucifer's...

After one year with this album, I am enjoying and appreciating it more than ever! A great sign for an excellent album's staying power. I tried to make my favorite track list keeping as true as possible to the band's theme and track listing. It took some alternate mixes to take this album to the...

Only the best version of the song! Here is the link.

Yeah, the remixes for this album range from uninteresting to awful for the most part. However, the Womankind mix of Get Out is superior to the album version in my opinion. Bono keeps trying to say this is a "pop song" but ruined the pop appeal of it with their album mix. The Womankind mix brings...

How are they not playing this song every night? It is fun, energetic, catchy, short, and excellent! A perfect song for the radio. This should be the next single/official release to radio after Love is Bigger.

This song gets better with repeated listens. It is one of the great songs from this album plus it is great live.

Great Love is All We Have Left Lights of Home Red Flag Day Little Things The Showman Landlady The Blackout Love is Bigger Very Good Best Thing Get Out (Womankind Mix) 13 Book of Your Heart Mediocre Summer of Love (Great lyrics but music and its repetitive drone lets it down) Skip American Soul

Billboard has an article indicating that a dance version of the song is now a top 10 hit coming in at #9 this week.

My favorite version of the song is the Womankind mix. This version eliminates the opening ahahaahs, Kendrick's sermon, and uses the "if I could sing it to you" part three times and closes the song with it. This version is also just 3 minutes long. My custom playlist for Songs of Experience...

A lot of people have mentioned this song's sonic connection to War. I personally love the connection between Sunday Bloody Sunday's "I can't believe the news today," and Red Flag Day's "Not even news today," lines. Sunday's younger, more innocent man is shocked and horrified by what is going on...

1. Boy Falls From the Sky (Needs an official U2 version) 2. Crystal Ballroom 3. Raised by Wolves 4. The Troubles 5. Little Things 6. Landlady 7. This is Where You Can Reach Me Now 8. Red Flag Day 9. Iris 10. Every Breaking Wave It was difficult leaving songs off. It shows how the band still...

Have we changed the guidelines to include songs released in 2009? I see you have Magnificent, Moment of Surrender and Breathe.

The Showman is brilliant and is perfectly sequenced on the album! I guess it is just not your cup of tea.

Well said! I agree!

Side 1 1. Fez/Being Born 2. No Line on the Horizon 3. Magnificent 4. Moment of Surrender 5. Unknown Caller Side 2 6. Soon 7. Breathe 8. Every Breaking Wave 9. White as Snow 10. Cedars of Lebanon

An amazing one-two punch to start the album regardless of the version of Lights used, but I do agree that it is better with the strings version. Also, I feel that as Bono is waking from his near-death experience in Lights of Home, the "free yourself" coda is perfectly placed and not just tacked...

I used to also think it was song. It works very well both ways. It is hard to go wrong with this song. Easily one of the best things the band has done!

Thanks, I think. This is a huge downer as now they are playing/promoting the album's worst song to a worldwide audience of hundreds of millions. They had better perform this much better than they did on SNL! Way to promote the new album, guys! For such a smart and talented group of guys, they...

Love is All to start the album Lights of Home, the strings before the "Hey now" and in general Edge's part of Best Thing Edge's harmonies in Get Out plus the catchy chorus Red Flag Day's "No" bridge The Showman's chorus, pure joy despite questionable grammar Little Things from the "Sometimes"...

13 (There is a Light) is pretty terrific and works well as a closer. I understand those who wanted Love is Bigger to be the finale, but this song has to close if the band wanted it on the album. I choose to ignore Bono saying the lyric is really "dumb" and not "done" as listed in the liner...

Both versions of the song are tremendous!:drool: However, after almost two months of listens, the strings version is my favorite. It adds a dramatic tension that is a welcome addition. The Haim riff is very good, but it cannot beat real strings. However, I believe U2 chose the album version...

A good song with powerful lyrics; however, the song is too repetitive with that cool, yet irritating guitar riff and Bono's fatiguing rhyme scheme, "freezing, leaving, believing." Bono needs a reminder that every line does not need to rhyme or be filled up with words. Give the music more room to...

Bomb as is works fine, but I thought you were a big Mercy Fan. :lol: I can understand why you do not like the Mercy hype as being one of the the greatest things the band has ever done, but your level of hate for the song is baffling. What do you not like about the song, just curious?
