Hmmm...i went with Promenade, but equally, according to my experience on forums, id say the EPAA is also hugely overlooked.

EPAA, no question. In fact if I had to pick ONE track from this album as my "desert island song," that would probably be it.

Indian Summer Sky.

Originally, it was going to be the first single off the album, if I recall correctly.

I think the song is brilliantly produced and aged way better than many other songs on the album. It’also one of those rare songs where the chorus is actually in the lower register which I find is a nice touch.

I also like the (rare) live version. Here’s a sample but you can find a better version :

A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Voted Elvis. Not only do people not rate it, but I have read people say it's U2's worst song.

Always liked it. Long but enough going on to keep me interested and not self indulgent.
