I voted for SBS, although IWF is a strong contender. I’ve never understood the fuss about SBS, especially with bono prancing around waving white flags. He just looks a bit daft.

I Will Follow

I only listed it because Edge's guitar is turned down way too low, killing some of the energy.

Maybe im being too pedantic...but, again...i chose a tune which others bang on about, enthusiastically, yet i dont feel as much excitement for the tune myself.
So, i went for 40

Having a hard time with this one. The tunes that are highly rated deserve it. SBS kicks ass. Gloria kicks ass. It all kicks ass. Even IWF, which I voted overrated on Boy, has a great energy here.

I considered Party Girl, but it’s fun and energetic.

Fuck it, I abstain.

NYD. I never thought the live performances matched the studio version, but the crowd jimps whenever they hear that bassline.  ::)

Apart from Red Rocks, I've never seen them play Party Girl again. They didn't think it deserved to be on an album but it's an ok song even if Bono described it as silly in the concert.

The funny thing about Party Girl is how Bono would straight-up lie to crowds to make it sound like it's a song they never play but he's playing special just for them. No internet back then....  ;D

They did play it almost 200 times

In a rare moment of bono defence from me, I’ve seen bands multiple times on tours, and they all do the same thing; even the ‘casual chat’ is heavily scripted.
