Both songs are about riding. But which is better?

WGTRYWH is one of the better songs on AB. But The Doors tune urinates on it from a great height.

Kinda surprised you didn't choose Wild Horses by the Stones for the comparison.

Both great songs, but Riders on the Storm is pretty iconic.

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house, we're born
Into this world, we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Tough one as I'm a huge Doors fan and that's one of their great ones, but Horses is probably top 5 u2 for me.

wasn't Horses one of the AB songs that was initially derided as if it didn't belong on the album?  maybe I am misremembering that.

hard to believe I am saying something nice about U2 these days but yeah, that is also a top 5 U2 song for me, an all time great.  And maybe their best bridge ever, just epic, right up there with Kite.

The single mix of the song was trash though, critical parts of it were cut out and just destroyed it.

Bit like with the *single* version of The Verve's History.  They cut out the critical 'oh the bed ain't made / but it's filled full of hope / I got a skinful of dope' outro and just ruined it.

I think the video is pretty great also. Bono's silhouette with the big screen behind him.  Probably one of the few times he actually looks cool.

I was never a big fan of Wild Horses to be honest.  Voted Riders
