Bass Trap is a lovely little instrumental, but Lady With a Spinning Head is a pretty cool b-side that reminds me of the better songs it will someday become. gets my vote

I posted about this in the Ultraviolet thread forgetting that Lady would eventually get its own. There are a few versions of the song but I think the one above is best. Those guitars just scream.

"There was a song called 'Lady With The Spinning Head' which we were really struggling with. It eventually ended up as a B-side. But we tried and failed to develop it so many times, it actually spawned three different songs, 'The Fly,' 'Ultraviolet (Light My Way),' and 'Zoo Station.' If you ever listen to 'Lady With The Spinning Head' you will hear elements of all those songs." - The Edge, U2 By U2 2006
