I prefer to listen to music without knowing every single detail about how the song was constructed.
Well that Bono quote ended the debate. Still a great song... Edge is kind of running out of ideas from the sound of things
I believe that the band did offer Dallas a writing credit for his role in Stand Up Comedy to which he responded "Stand Up Comedy writing credit for me, no thank you, that one is all you guys."If they didn't credit people like Eno and Lanois in the past, or Dallas for his role in part of the effect for SUC, or the Pop samples and so on, I'm not too worried about it as a listener at this point. That's just me though.
One of the best of their entire catalog is only a 9/10?
I don’t give out 10s as liberally as most here. I would say I’ve given maybe 15-20 U2 songs a 10/10. The albums that have the most 10s are Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum (3 each).
In fact....here is my break down of 10s
Boy: 1
October: 0
War: 2
UF: 2
JT: 3
RH: 3
AB: 2
Zoo: 0
Pop: 0
ATYCLB: 2
Bomb: 1
NLOTH: 1
SOI: 1
SOE: 1
So....19!
My ratings categories are:
10/10 amazing
9/10 great
8/10 good
The above are what I consider the songs I will always go back and listen to.
7/10 pretty good
6/10 Okay (it’s not bad but it doesn’t do anything for me)
5/10 pretty bad
The below I will likely never listen to again except if I want to give them another chance.
4/10 bad
3/10 very bad
2/10 turd
1/10 Dumpster Fire
Not sure what that whole scale has to do with your choice of words. If you’re going to call something “among their best” then it shouldn’t be part of the tier under that top level. “Among their best” should be the select group of stuff you gave a 10 to. Because what you’re really saying is “among the songs that I don’t consider their best but are just shy of amazing and only great”.

Not that I give this song a 9 by any stretch. Alas...
Ahhhhhh I'd say a 6. Solid song, better than average but not touching the upper tier.What do you rate it? Curious if it falls closer to perfect or “Boots” on your scale.

Move to the South they said.Seeing as how the east coast of the US continues to be gripped by arctic cold, I, too, have been thinking about the West Coast.

It'll be warmer they said.
I love eating wingers outsideSeriously. The reward of upper 90s and ghastly humidity in late July should be wingers in which you can at least go outside during the day.
Of course, it’s going to be 60 next Friday. So.
Probably a 7.That's fair, it's not like you think it's trash. I would bet we are also opposite on LOH(album cut). I give the album cut a 5.5(might go to a 6)but I think you rate it pretty high(like many here), would that be a 9 in your book?

This should be their new single. Even my three year old is asking for this song all the time. Most likely candidate to do anything in the charts.
