I agree. I really like both of those songs. But 90s U2 has been crushing the competition

Playboy Mansion is a decent song, but I don’t think it’s special. 40 isn’t one of my absolute favorites either, but when listening back to back I definitely preferred it.

it was Red Hill Mining Town! glad I got that sorted.

I'm thinking doone should just listen to every U2 song ever made and we'll get this figured out.

surprising number of blowouts this late in. Ultraviolet beating Running to Stand Still is nonsense, and One Tree Hill came dangerously close to losing to Pride. Get it together, RM!
