I didn't want to either, but I just went with Arms around the World. It's the least-great song on a pretty much perfect album.

Wild Horses.

I’ve always found the chorus way too sugary for my taste.
The song has always been a disappointment for me. There was a potential in the demos that never really got realized. The « baby » version is better but IMO it remains a stain on an otherwise perfect album.

It’s an ok song, but I find it overrated by the fan base

Tryin to Throw Your Arms Around the World. Its a very good song that suits the album but it doenst feel quite as essential as the others do.

Cant see how its possible to vote So Cruel as the worst. For me thats a top 10 U2 song. Wild Horses is 10/10 as well for me.

Some cringey lyrics and overwrought singing.

Nbd, still rate the song, just something’s gotta be last.

So Cruel is Top 10 for sure, maybe top 5. One of Bono’s finest lyrics
