I went with BD.

Let’s face it, most people don’t remember side 2 and BD, despite being shite, gets the most airtime. Elevation is a contender, too, but the bridge saves it from oblivion.

I will if you put up OVERRATED polls for the albums you missed.

I disagree.

The band will play whatever makes them money. It’s overrated by their dumbass audience.

I would move for Overrated to go up on Mondays.

We are missing at least Pop overrated and maybe Zooropa too, can’t remember. Those could get caught up anytime.

Kite is the single most overrated track in the band’s discography, or at least it was until The Little Things was released. How such a bland, uninspired track has become so beloved among U2 fans has always confused me. Kite isn’t as straight-up bad as Grace or POE, but it’s pretty lame.

It's like a song someone would write if they were trying to make fun of U2's post-Pop output but without mentioning politics. U2 by numbers.

And I'm not usually a lyrics guy, but "I'm a man I'm not a child" is such a pathetic lyric to accompany the climax of the song. Glad you guys enjoy it though.
