Damn, I missed so much already.

You all are a mess for kicking out the Grammy-winning masterpiece "Walk On" so early! What gives?

"Sweetest Thing" is the first U2 song I ever heard. I'm sad to see it get so little love.

I always thought it was a bit clumsy. Especially compared to the other 3 solid gold singles from ATYCLB. Still a jam in its own right, though.

Also poor One Tree Hill being out too soon

Hahaha I've never seen that Bruce gif! For what it's worth, I saw him earlier this year and he pulled off that move without falling...

"The Saints Are Coming" is such a throwaway. How in the world did it make the top thirty?

I'm a sucker for the U2 stadium anthems, and "Walk On" hits me right in the heart. I love that ascendant outro, especially with the chorus of voices joining in.

I really like it (even though Billy really overpowers Bono on the studio version) but there are a lot of songs that deserved to be above it, like Walk On, the Pop singles, etc.

Sorry, y'all. May have been drunk when I did this rate.

"Elevation" is the best ATYCLB single sis

Oh, and that was the last of Zooropa and Pop

Too ahead of their time for y'all

globesessions

Hold on hold on hold on.

The version of "One" with Mary J. Blige is seriously in the top 20?

What is this mess. What have we done.
