I could have voted Arms around the world as it’s such a great melody.

But I went with Love is blindness. Perfectly written and executed. The evolution between the « baby » version and the LP version is fantastic.

I think it’s underrated by the band since they only played it on 2 tours. They also felt the need to NOT close the set with this halfway through ZooTv, which IMO was a mistake.
It’s one of the songs that wasn’t butchered during the Sphere residency, although Bono tried his worst at times.

I also find it underrated since Jack White’s version seems to be more popular than U2’s. Nothing wrong with JW’s version but I find U2’s superior.

Edit : played on 1 tour and 1 residency.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...
