Would love to win such a cool item!
Love Is Blindness
Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
“(Ultraviolet) Light My Way” is my favorite at the moment. Though ask me another time and my answer may change.
PICK ME!
urgh, i mean “Ultraviolet (Light My Way)”
Even Better Than the Real Thing
Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
you couldn’t give me this box set. that being said I hope I win
This is a tough one, Achtung Baby is my absolute favorite album. I think I’d have to say “Acrobat” is my favorite, for its sheer inventiveness and difference from not only the rest of the album but pretty much all other U2 songs.
Ultraviolet all the way.

Going to have to go with Zoo Station, it opened the album & our ears to something never heard before.

It’s like a revamped, alt-rock-flavored version of a love/god song they would’ve done pre-Achtung… so good.

One, but only the LP version. Can’t stand it live.

Ultraviolet !
Like a lot of others, my favorite changes all the time. Right now “Until The End Of The World” is the one I’ll go with.
UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD!!!
“Early morning, I was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows, they learned to swim…”
Until The End Of The World
(how amazing are these lyrics as well?)
Until the End of the World
Favorite track is “Until the End of the World”. You can’t beat a song writting from the point of view of Judas. And the Edge’s guitars have never soared so greatly.
Love Is Blindness
Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
Great lyrics, dense sonically, life affirming
“when it was all messed up, and I heard opera in my head, your love was a lightbulb hanging over my bed”
I just love the guitars on “Mysterious Ways”. “One” is unfortunately played out for me, former favorite.
One!
Until The End of the World :)

My favorite song off of Achtung Baby has to be “One”. Such a raw and emotionally charged song.
Until The End of the World.

I love so many of this album that it’s hard to choose. I especially love Zoo Station, Even Better…, and Acrobat, but I will go with Until the End of the World as my favorite since it has so much going on and is both great on record and probably the best song they perform live. When that intro starts off, everyone in the audience loses their shit and it continues throughout until the mind boggling finale. As innovative as Nirvana may have been with Nevermind, second guessing Achtung, Baby for that reason is idiotic. They took music somewhere with that album and I think that No Line on the Horizon was on the right track from going back to something unique and creative and hopefully they can continue in that vein with subsequent musical releases.

Stay (Far Away, So Close) slightly edges out Until the End of the World for me.
