The first se7en songs are superb.  For this poll i went with 'in Gods country' because i feel of the non-hits it is probably the best song.  And its a song the band should have played more often. 

Running to stand Still is also great,  especially the live ZOOTV version,  but i don't feel it is necessarily underrated since it was so beautifully featured on that tour.

I voted One Tree Hill.

First time U2 used a sample loop for the intro ? Which makes it quite early in their discography.

Vocals are a masterclass. Bono gives his full range.

Great syncopated bass line, which is something Adam rarely does.
Awesome drumming, with Larry alternating cowbell and hi-hat. I have yet to hear another drummer pull the same trick and make it work.

Huge dynamics throughout the song.

That outro… my goodness. Just pure beauty.

Also worthy of interest is what’s, to me, the best live version :

A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

ISHFWILF.  For me it is one of their very finest songs.

Trip Through Your Wires is so underrated that it's even underrated in this poll.
