Like with the Queen thread, I have put a poll to see what is Metropol Members favourite U2 song. I have included more well known songs of U2 as I know they may not have as wide as appeal as Queen due to their political view, Then again I may be wrong

This time I have included an Other tab so if you don't like any in the selection but like another please write what it is.

I have voted, New Years Day, a great early song from 1983 album WAR, especially the longer album version

Can't see your 'Other' option!

I like '11 O'Clock Tick Tock' which I have on a compilation of Martin Hannett productions. Maybe be blasphemous, but I much prefer the Pet Shop Boys version of 'Where The Streets Have No Name' ;) Always been more into synths than guitars!

They just had an i-Pod ad with U2 on it, was that the new track? the caption came up but not sure if this is a snippet of the proper version, if it is it sounds great (haven't seen or heard it on TMF or The Hits yet)

I think the new i-Pod mini has the new album pre=programmed into it.

My earliest U2 memory is when "Pride (In The Name of Love)" came out when I was three, and since then I suppose I've been a fan.

Favourite tracks include "Bad", "Gloria", "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Even Better Than The Real Thing" (Perfecto remix - the best remix of all time IMO), "Beautiful Day", "Numb"... any of them really.

Just seen & heard Vertigo on THE HITS, Great song & a mad video as well, If this doesn't make the top five then most of the UK nusic buying public (teenage kids) are Twat's especially if that cover/ sample of Steve Windwood's Valerie stays Number 1 ( the video is good for that however :D )
