Peace on Earth,  Fire, Is That All, Hawkmoon 269
we are no longer friends for today on this thread

Peace on Earth is too corny. I understand where it was going, but to me it falls very flat on its face.

I just never got into Fire, and Is That All's riff was clearly copied from The Cry.

Hawkmoon sounded just like a overabundance of southern roots rock. U2 wasn't really in the song, just playing it.

Blah, not really.
watch. the my fellow Octo-head  are on their way

I didn't say I didn't like the album  :D

I just don't like those two tracks. I love Tomorrow, October, Gloria, and like With a Shout, I Fall Down, I Threw a Brick, and Rejoice

Excluding SEVERAL B-Sides from the Rattle & Ham era that I truly despise (such as Hallelujah Here She Comes and A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel), mine are:

Love Rescue Me
Until The End Of The World
Shadows & Tall Trees
Miracle Drug
In A Little While
Unknown Caller
One Tree Hill
Trip Through Your Wires
Exit
Pride
The Refugee
Two Hearts Beat As One

I think that about does it. These songs all send me lunging for the skip button.

*defence of Hawkmoon!!!*

Droo, I'm not even going there with that list.


Anyway:

Yahweh
Grace
Peace on Earth
When I look at the World - borderline that one
Stay - (the only song that actually irks me musically, I love the live versions like Zoo though)

I don't hate these songs, but they're my least favourite and I will often skip them.

*Yahweh ruined HTDAAB :P

My least liked songs are:

Miami
Numb
God Part II
Playboy Mansion
The Wanderer <--But I admit that I loved when Bono sang it in Nashville. After I recovered from the shock of him breaking into it. Truthfully, if he'd sang the song on Zooropa, I'd probably have liked it. Not a huge Johnny Cash fan.

I used to dislike Mofo. But I've changed my mind because on live versions (bootlegs, DVD), it absolutely kicks a$$. So that made me listen to the studio version and tolerate it enough to no longer dislike it.

Everything else I generally like and if it's not a favorite, I dont have a horrible "need to skip" dislike of it.

I have to... Yahweh is one of my favorite songs on HTDAAB. And so is Miracle Drug. So I'll just bite my tongue around both of  you. :)

LOL!

I love Miracle Drug too, actually, I love all of HTDAAB except Yahweh, and I know I'm in the minority on both counts, but I don't care! :P ;)

1.) Miami
2.) A Man and a Woman
3.) Crumbs from Your Table
4.) Elvis Presley and America
5.) One Step Closer
6.) All Because of You
7.) When I Look at the World
8.) Get on Your Boots
9.) Wake Up Dead Man
10.) Wild Honey

Those are my ten least favourite U2 songs. I hate all of the top five.

You hate One Step Closer?

I can see not loving it, but HATING it? What's there to hate?
