I voted for I Fall Down. Like ADWM on Boy it's fine live, but the studio version is kinda corny.

I'm going to revisit.  I can't remember how some songs go.

Sounds like an early years U2 song title.

Are you gonna write that book?

If I have to pick one it’s Fire. I still love it, but it’s probably the weakest one. Saturday Night is the better version anyway.

I do not love Fire. It’s always a skipper for me.

Love the rest, though. Even the ones other people hate like With a Shout.

I Fall Down is a soul song.

Is that all ?

Kind of fun as a closer I reckon but I don’t see much in it.

I think for me, Stranger in a Strange Land - though the experience that inspired the track was interesting.

I picked Stranger.  Because the riff is wasted on early Bonoisms.

I never understood the collective dislike of this song in particular. It's not amazing, but it's not much worse than any other track from this time. It's kinda like how seemingly everyone insists that the Temple Bar Mix of Wild Horses is better than the album version. Is it an unwitting hive mentality or something?
