Probably in the minority, but i really like Sweetest Thing. I was a freshman in college when it came out (the newer version) and it takes me back.  Think the video is pretty cool too.

I quite like it as well.  One of the few songs of this nature they actually pulled off.

However its also hard to go against anything from Violator - therefore i chose both.

I agree that The Sweetest Thing was one of the few times they pulled off a pop song properly...but would have to go for the Depeche Mode track here.

"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto
