I almost selected option 3. American Soul is a pretty solid tune, the shit lyrics notwithstanding. However, Duran Duran were, are, and will always be, a better band than U2. So I went with American Science, from their superb ‘Notorious’ LP

I continue to be amazed that someone like yourself who seems to otherwise have pretty good taste in music actually thinks AS is a solid tune. 

It is a steaming pile of manure.  A fucking embarrassment.  Made worse by the bullhorn and huge American flag on stage.  Holy shit.

Musically, it’s pretty decent. The lyrics, bullhorn, subject matter and visual presentation are clearly awful. But, in the area of the last 5 U2 albums, it’s a solid tune.

No, it's pretty weak.  That was the first time hearing it though, I am not a DD fan.  I don't hate them, just never really got into their music.

But it did not make my stomach turn the way AS does. 

Fuck I am getting ill just thinking about it.

Well, I always post a YouTube link to the non U2 song in my polls - unlike others who have jumped on my bandwagon, I hasten to add - so you can familiarise yourself with the competition.

Alright, look, maybe it’s not that good. But fuck me, compared with the last 4 earth shatteringly rubbish singles, 95% of bomb, crapolla like volcano and the other phoned in shite on SOI, and the snatching defeat from the jaws of victory LP that is NLOTH, AS is a goddamn masterpiece. It’s let down by a lot of things, but at its heart, it’s decent.
