[yahoo news story](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=795&ncid=799&e=1&u=/eo/20040823/en_music_eo/14777)– U2 fan site @U2 quotes VH1 Senior Vice President Bill Flanagan saying, “It’s the best album they have ever done. It’s going to knock [listeners] out.”

i think it’ll be tough to beat achtung, baby and the joshua tree, but still i know i’m excited.

so what’s everyone’s favorite U2 song? mine’s Pride (in the name of love)

I think Stay is one of their most overlooked songs.

I’m not buying the hype about the new album either, can’t top Achtung Baby

I can’t for their new album! It’ll be tough picking just one song, so I’ll just list my favorites:

1. Ground Beneath Her Feet
2. Electrical Storm
3. Tomorrow
4. Ultraviolet
5. One
6. Where the Streets Have no Name
7. Bad
8. Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
9. Stay
10. Gone

Well, I pretty much like all of the songs on all of their albums and singles. The only exceptions being Pop and Zooropa where only a few songs are good 🙂

The one they did for Batman was pretty good too, I think. I still don’t understand why so many people hate that song :-/

That is a good song also. It was forever ruined after I heard Weird Al Yankovic’s version called “Cavity Search.” Everytime I hear the U2 version, I imagine Bono as saying “Numb me, drill me, Floss me, bill me” 😛

I heard Vertigo today on [atu2.com](http://atu2.com). This song is really good!!! It’s no Beautiful Day, but it’s certainly one of their more Boy/War/October-esque sounds with ALTYCLB type lyrics 🙂

The album won’t be out till the end of November ☹ They should be releasing their single in a few weeks, so I’ll definitely get it. I hear they will include a DVD containing cool stuff. Not quite sure what the cool stuff will be though.

[U2.com](http://U2.com) has been re-designed also, so the song/video should be on their site in a few days hopefully 😛

And now a video for it: [http://www.u2exit.com/u2m/2/index.php3?count=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.u2exit.com%2Fgary%2FVertigo-Video.wmv](http://www.u2exit.com/u2m/2/index.php3?count=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.u2exit.com%2Fgary%2FVertigo-Video.wmv) 🙂

It’s not the official video of course!
