Red Mosquito

Do I think The Fly is the greatest U2 song ever? No.

But, considering how things have gone, does The Fly match up with what's left? Yes.

It's a great song and an avatar for the extreme and lasting changes they made with Achtung.

It's top 10 for me but not in my top 5.

The Fly is my second favorite song by U2 and an absolutely worthy winner

The Fly kinda rocks. I don't hate Mysterious Ways like I hate One though.

Was glad to see all Achtung Baby songs in the finals, since that's their only album I've ever thought was good.
