139. Bullet the Blue Sky vs. Lady With the Spinning Head

pretty easy vote for Bullet, though I'm glad Lady exists for the better songs it spawned (and it's not bad in its own right)

Lady b/c I don't really dig Bullet and I learned that awesome tidbit about it thanks to macphisto.

What's the tidbit?

[Birds in Hell]

I'd never heard either of these before, and I kind of liked both (uh oh).

Bullet the Blue Sky.

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.

Quote:
"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

If it's good enough to spawn those three awesome songs, it gets my vote here against the overrated Bullet.

Lady With the Spinning Head gets my vote.

You’d never heard Bullet the Blue Sky, spenno? How the hell is that possible? Do yourself a favor and watch this.

Also, spenno, now I understand all of your terrible U2 opinions simply come from a complete lack of knowledge of the material.
