I find merit in all of them. While enjoying the added electric guitar bits in the Single version, I also miss the louder 6 string acoustic of the Album version.

And the "Killahurtz Casa De Angeles Mix" is just insane. One of the few successful U2 remix tunes, cause it keeps the core of the original tune intact.

toss up.

If you can find the version from Conan O'Brien, that one was awesome.

Dude this is why people get tired of your posts, what's the point in even saying that? If the song doesn't interest you, why even comment on it?

That's exactly why I say there's plenty of misplaced anger and jealousy. He needs to be heard because he was ignored for a long time, probably still is.

Probably one of my least favorite U2 songs, but I prefer the album version.

I haven't heard the remix actually, I'll have to check it out. I prefer the single version to the album one; to me it sounds a bit bloated on the record, too many ingredients. Never been a huge fan of the song to be honest.

The great intro to the single version should have been on the album version, too. Besides its weak synth intro, the album version is fine. But what's really strange is how this great song got seemingly lost as track #10 on the album.

No way that's the best part, i hate when the singles are all jammed up front.

I don't know if freedom of speech is protected on a forum that has rules on what can't be said dude.
Anyways back on topic..
I pretty much like all the versions of this song, awesome song off of an awesome album. A hidden gem according to U2
