For me it's Exit. The only song on the album that I skip, just can't get into it for some reason. Not a bad song though.

Trip Through Your Wires is probably the obvious choice but I like joyous feeling to it and Bono's singning.

Trip fits on the album all right but it’s the least U2-esque song, hence the weakest of the bunch.

A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Here’s the thing. I considered Exit because the production blows.

And I agree with you about the joyous feeling on Trip.

But I went with Trip.

Trip is awesome. Looks like I found my vote for most underrated.

I’m going with WOWY. It’s a fine song, but I don’t think it really fits with the rest of the album. To me it seems like they were just trying to write a hit, which of course they succeeded in.

For a long time I would have said ISHFWILF was the worst, but it’s grown on me a bit lately. Although I still prefer the gospel version from Rattle And Hum.

Christ on a bike, and I’m controversial for hating pride! WOWY is a master stroke of songwriting

But I don’t ‘hate’ WOWY, it’s just my least favorite of eleven good songs.

MOTD is the worst in my opinion.    U2 is hit and miss with album closers.

How could I? Apart from the obligatory stadium sing a long bit near the end, WOWY is a flawless song. They did a similar thing with MOS; the magic is perfect until the final quarter.
