Electrical Storm vs. Pride (In the Name of Love)

Electrical storm was fine as a b-side single for a GH album. Pride deserves its classic status

I recognize prides brillance but I love electrical storm and feared it would be facing a shutout.

Of course Pride is a classic, but im worn out with some of u2´s classic specially from their first era.

Electrical for me.

"Electrical Storm" is one of their best, especially the William Orbit version that was used for the video. "Pride" is boring and too literal.

Easy vote for Electrical Storm. Pride is fine, even very good, but like some early PJ songs I don’t care if I ever hear it again. Electrical Storm is fantastic.

Shouldn’t we be voting on the original versions of songs?

Weren't they released at the same time? Anyway, even the inferior band version better than corny-ass "Pride"

Why is Pride winning this? You fools.

Post by **Jorge** » Sun May 13, 2018 4:55 am

Because it's a big, catchy, anthemic thing with no nuance or color

Ugh

Why is one of their most recognizable greatest hits winning against a relatively unknown song?

It’s still not the better song.

Fair enough. It just seems to me that anything with the word mix in parenthesis after the song title is not the official version.

you should vote for the song in whatever capacity you associate it with
