Until the End of the World is one of their very best songs. Just astounding. I never liked Numb

This is one of the songs I'd recommend to someone who says they don't like U2

Here’s where we diverge, stip. I do agree that Until the End of the World is an excellent song. I like it a lot. Numb is a cool ass song in its own right, and it is one of the things that I love about that era of U2. They weren’t afraid to experiment, and I think Numb really works. I don’t expect it to win, but it deserves some love.

Until The End Of The World should probably be one of the finalists.

Both great. I don't agree with whatever the seeding method was. I voted for Numb despite the fact end of the world is better. Great video and I had a feeling my vote wouldn't numb over the edge. Pun unintended.

Seeding was random

FUUUUUCK this is so hard!!!

Ill go with Numb. The guitars, the chorus...the fact that this one was a single...so badass. Incredible song.

I voted for Numb, and even I’m surprised this is tight.

I'm surprised with how close this vote is. I almost didn't check this thread. I just assumed "Until the End of the World" would be running away with this one. Shows what I know.

Damn Numb is out?

Are there songs from Zooropa that I’ll vote for over songs from Achtung? Yes, but not this one.

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait
'Til the end of the world

My vote for Numb feels a bit fraudulent. Not because I don’t like the song, I do. I gave it a vote for that reason and because I figured I’d probably be the only one. If this actually got tight, I’d probably be compelled to switch my vote.

Until The End of the World is probably top 5 U2 for me
