RFD, LOH, and BOYH are all great, 13 is too. I don't think TLTTGYA is that great but I see why people like it.

I choose The Troubles.  I don't think any song on SOE was great, but Little Things is the closest for me.

The very first time I played the new Songs of Experience album on the day of release I was struck by The Little Things ... immediately. Proper "classic" U2.

TLTTGYA is one of the few u2 songs i prefer the studio version over the live version. The studio has much more subtle detail in the background, the ambient bits

The Edge: “[Eno] would love to see us making albums a bit more like [Zooropa]. Where we go, ‘You know what? We’re not going to second-guess any of this. Let’s just go for it.’”

U2 Fans: We'd all love to see that, Edge.

Every Breaking Wave is a very good song, especially the lyric.  I.e., good choice.

Surprisingly no one picked a remix- maybe we should tell the band.

A forum of solid fans picks The Little Things as their best song in 2 decades, yet they didn’t play it on the last tour. Go figure.

I like the studio version much better than what i was hearing performed live before SOE was released.  Still not one of my favorites from the new album.
