WOWY is unquestionably great, but WTTW wins for me. Luminous times is meh.

Love Luminous Times, but With or Without You is a top 5 U2 song.

Walk Ti The Water and Luminous Times are good bsides. I enjoy listening to them more than WOWY, but WOWY is undeniably a good song, no matter how sick I am of it. Still voting Luminous Times though.

The two B sides aren’t bad songs, but come on…  ::)

For fans of the less bombastic version of U2, WTTW wins. The usual suspects here are loving the stadium anthems

WOWY is one of the most unique songs in their catalog.

This poll is a bit meh.

Bought the single of WOWY. Even though TJT had already been released.

This was to hear the B sides after seeing they were new songs rather than live tracks or remixes.

TJT was so good I thought the B sides would also be classics.

Was getting carried away.

I still bought the singles of ISHFWILF & Streets. For the B sides.

My version of 'One' had 'The Lady with the Spinning Head' 'Satelite of Love' and 'Night & Day'.

All of which I like.

Well I like LT and WTTW better, but WOWY is undoubtedly a better song. I've just heard it so much more often.

I don’t see you contributing any new polls or threads so I’d say my ‘meh’ poll trumps your silence.

When we were teenagers, my brother, my cousin and I went to the arcade. They had a jukebox.
My brother had a crush on this girl he wanted to impress. So he went to the jukebox and told her the b-side tracks of the WOWY single were as good, if not better than the a-side. Then he pressed the button to play the b-side. What he didn’t know is that, on that jukebox 7’’ single, the b-side was pressed at 33rpm. So when he played the tunes and the machine was set at 45rpm, they were played quite fast !
There was this embarrassing moment where my brother tried to salvage his statement and the girl just nodded and said « yeah, I can see how it would work at the right speed ».
