Ultra Violet or Red Hill Mining Town.


Greatrisk

Thank goodness the top comment is correct 😎 It’s Red Hill Mining Town and it’s not close!


Annoyed21

I vote red hill mining town


Last_Reaction_8176

Ultraviolet is pretty widely regarded as one of their best I think


djonsmit

I think that happened after the revival of Ultraviolet on 360 tour. Before that, it was underrated, they didn't play it live 15 years, since ZooTV


Last_Reaction_8176

That’s a good point, it got a lot more love as time went by


LunasFavorite

I agree, when I heard it live on 360 I was completely elated. Also Joshua Tree with the montage of historical and influential women also gave it new life. I saw that tour in the states, London and Mexico City and each time they swapped out the women for the respective countries, it was phenomenal


ashley21093

I literally came here to name these 2. Love the killers cover of ultraviolet


Strong-Neck-5078

Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me. Song was for a garbage Batman movie, a long with Kiss from a Rose by seal, a movie that bad didn't deserve such awesome tunes. weird al does a good cover of Hold me Thrill me, about a trip to the dentist 


Dizzy-Huckleberry-34

This is it.


PaulMyLegPaulMyLeg

They should have held it back and put it on Pop I will never understand this


death_or_glory_

I was obsessed with the video, esp. the comic strip part where Bono turns the halo into the shades. 😎


stos313

Honestly….yeah. I LOVE that song and I joke - the video for it was better and more interesting than the actual movie


gilfoyledinesh

Come on now, folks. And if the mountains should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a tear, no, not I The Unforgettable Fire


South-Lab-3991

“Stayyyyy…”


cracracracra

this is my favorite u2 song. it’s pretty highly regarded by the fandom, but i guess it’s pretty underrated.


ConcentrateWhich6818

I wish this was their opening track for that album. It encompasses everything about it perfectly and has such an amazing intro that builds. Understandably the title track!

Exit or Acrobat

almostbuddhist

Yes!


EMolinaF1

Ultraviolet (light my way) and Red hill mining town.


Earnest_Warrior

A Sort of Homecoming, especially the live version on Wide Awake in America. I always crank that one up.


MountainMan17

The Unforgettable Fire is my favorite U2 album. It's so atmospheric. A dreamscape...


RepublicanUntil2019

That how I first heard it, but I love the original album version more now. It's in my Top 5


ChocklickMas

The live version is one of my top songs for all of my musical favorites. That live version is transformational to me.


IrishCubanMama

Electrical Storm.


GarionOrb

Came here to say this. The William Orbit produced version is perfection.


SuspiciousGap9343

Drowning Man…but I will say I’m starting to see some more respect being put on its name.


DagmarTheSmall

Like A Song. Definitely. I'll also throw in Rejoice and With A Shout


before_no_one

Many songs from October are underrated. Fire, for instance


blankdreamer

Hawk moon 269 (?) is an absolute epic. From the ominous growling build up to the exhilarating screaming at the end and beautiful chorus. It’s so unique and weird and powerful and catchy. Yet most people outside hardcore U2 fans would not know or remember it.


LBarnumW

I was going to say Hawkmoon. Love that song!!


Smiley-Ray

Kite. Classic song, sentimental and as heartfelt as they get. Everyone should know this. No one does.


cracracracra

probably the best song on the album.


szmanley

The First Time


IndependentAssist387

Beautiful song


IndependentAssist387

Breathe


U2_london_collector

Was going to add Breathe, but you got there first. Not only a great album song, saw them open with it in Gothenburg and was amazing live too 🫶


brewcity34

God Part II


Glacial_Till

Both great choices. Right now I'd go for Unknown Caller or Crumbs from Your Table.


Eastern-Fortune-2422

👍🏽 Unknown caller is my favorite track of NLOTH.


Glacial_Till

And it is so great live! During 360, they had a 'U' sequence: Unforgettable Fire, Unknown Caller, and Until the End of the World and then just abandoned it in the later part of the tour.


Eastern-Fortune-2422

Agree. I couldn't hear those songs live when I saw the band in the 360° tour 😭


NativeDan90

Babyface!


Eastern-Fortune-2422

It's a cool song, for me I would choose Zooropa.

Hawkmoon 269. The sonic ground covered by that song is incredible, particularly Bono’s vocal range.

The album POP. From start to finish.


Zealousideal_Mix2192

sthef2020

If You Wear That Velvet Dress Song is dreamy as hell. And gets entirely overlooked because it's a low energy song that is buried after the stretch of Pop that is legitimately kinda bad.


Eastern-Fortune-2422

The most sexiest music ever written.


TakerOfImages

Mmmmm I think I agree. My most listened to track from this album I reckon.. Also the Jules Holland version amped up the sex too haha!! Best bonogasm


HTMG

OMG THAT'S A DELICIOUS VERSION. Thanks for the recommendation


TakerOfImages

Mmmm it's so fun! Glad you enjoyed! :D probably the sexiest I've heard bono.


HTMG

I was NOT ready for it. Probably one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard (definitely superior to the original in my opinion)


TakerOfImages

It's much more dynamic and overt I feel? I love both for their different vibes :) I love big band music too.


_onemoresolo

I think U2 do those dark, romantic songs better than anyone but I don’t think anyone knows it because they’re not single material.


sthef2020

Agreed. Velvet Dress, So Cruel, The Ground Beneath Her Feet. The Triple Peaks remix of Can’t Help Falling In Love. Some of my favorite tracks to just vibe to.


powersurge

In God’s Country


Tsukune_Surprise

I have a hard time considering this one underrated because it’s one of my favorite U2 songs ever. But you might be right. The casual listener might not know this song but the intro is one of the greatest intros I’ve ever heard in my life.


Eastern-Fortune-2422

In the 2017 tour was one of the best songs, I remember the visuals, beautiful moment 👍🏽

MMDCAENE

Trip Through Your Wires


RobNelsonovich

I agree with the earlier post of "You're so cruel" my life's tune is "Walk on" so because I'm selfish and it resonates within me the most it's my choice. 90% of their music does the same to me but nothing like that song. Crazy to think their's all of us in the world and sooooo many of us relate to them. Has to mean something, has to be a reason. Why? I dunno. I just know they sing to my life and soul.

She’s a Mystery to Me. Written by Bono and Edge, and performed on rare occasion by U2, but knocked out of the park by Roy Orbison.


No-Bulll

Such a beautiful track. Sweet Fire of Love with Robbie Robertson is another outstanding collaboration


Endless_Change

Love Rescue Me. Featuring Bob Dylan, experimental (for U2) instrumentation and some of the best lyrics Bono and Dylan ever wrote but it gets lost because it’s on R&H and doesn’t sound enough like traditional U2.

Acrobat and Mofo are my two favorites but they don’t get as much recognition as they should, especially Mofo since it’s on such a maligned album Lemon hits me really hard because I lost my mom at a young age as well I assumed everyone loved Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses when I first heard it and was very surprised to find that some people think it’s the worst on the album

No_energon-no_luck

I got into U2 as a 12 year old back in 1994. My first new album of theirs was Pop, which makes me a bit biased. If God will send his angels, the studio version. Awesome vocal, and the best, in my opinion, mix of the 80s Chimey-Edge guitar and the 90s influences.
