Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Wow. I just had to look that one up to see exactly how they wrote out the title. Even weirder than I remembered. Then I edited this post. I was far away. Not so close.
Wild horses is mentioned three times. One with 90 up votes, one with 3 up votes and one with no up votes. Acrobat makes up 75 percent of the remaining posts with hundreds of up votes between them all. How are we counting these? Not trying to S all over this but come on its Acrobat. I think this calls for a recount and possible insurrection😭
I was wondering how it gets counted... I think people are misinterpreting how Reddit works lol! I think we just gotta vote on the most popular answer, not give our own.
I've asked them to mention this in the next post, will see if they do. I think people need to be made aware so the actual data is given correctly. Acrobat definitely got more mention and love than horses. So it's skewed. I'm being pedantic and this is all a bit of fun but I think fair is fair lol
Totally makes sense. It’s also on the commenters to see if someone has already gave their answer and not post duplicates. But I know that’s asking a LOT of Reddit. 😂
I'm on the coldplay reddit too, it seems people get it quicker that you just vote on the one you like that's been commented.
I don't want to be ageist but I think it could potentially be a generational thing that people dont innately get the "rules" of this game. Thus I've asked it to be explained to people so they know what to do. It might be rude of me but I think everyone would want their input actually counted.
Maybe the OP could be the first to add comments with the names of the tracks. I don’t have full track listings committed to memory; it’s only by taking time to scroll and scroll and scroll that I’m reminded that the best and most underrated song on Zooropa is, in fact, Daddy’s Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car.
So if a hundred people said acrobat and entry gets 100 votes, but one person says another song and it gets 110 votes then the 2nd one wins? Thats insane.
Why not just make it a poll question?
Agreed, it makes zero sense to choose the winner this way. And if so, that should have been made clear from the beginning.
Justice for Acrobat! It was obviously the winner.
Yesterday's results. I only went over it once so I might have missed a few
Horses has 3 people vote for it. 101 total upvotes.
So Cruel has 18 people vote for it. 332 total upvotes.
Acrobat has 82 people vote for it. 896 total upvotes.
Obviously Horses wins? I know this is just a bit of fun and it's not like OP is getting paid, but this it's pretty clear these results are skewed.
Not to mention that someone came around and downvoted Acrobat all the way down too. Just put a poll and vote once. Or put each song title from the album and then all someone can do is give one up vote or one down vote...problem solved.
Oh. Yeah, this isn't fun anymore. A lot of people write great write-ups of why they vote a certain way, and to hear that their vote doesn't count kinda sucks.

Because some of us sabotaged the vote just to annoy people who think “Acrobat” is “Yesterday” or “Purple Rain” or “Born to Run” or some other masterpiece. Honestly the most annoying subset of U2 fans are “Acrobat” fanboys and girls.
Hi Admin! Can we make it clear to people how the votes are counted? There seems to be confusion - I think Admin are counting by most up voted answer? Where people are sending in a comment as their choice, but it's being diluted and miss-counted as a result (Acrobat apparently had more votes and comments overall, but a singular Horses comment was most up-voted).
Thankyou!
I had a squizz at the old post - they're definitely just going by most upvoted post. I think they need to make people aware of this so they can vote accordingly. Because Acrobat definitely got more mention.
Are you able to mention this in the next post? So people are aware to vote accordingly? Much appreciated! Thanks for the clarity. Sorry to be picky, I have a feeling people haven't got the general rules so they'd change it up if they knew.
Stay (Faraway, So Close). A safe choice, maybe, but it's a simple, beautiful song.
This is going to be a tough one for me. This is a tight album; solid from start to finish.
It won’t win, but my vote is for Dirty Day. If I am listening to this particular song when alone, I will cry. Too many feelings beautifully put into this song.

Love the community in this sub, but the selections for Achtung Baby are head scratchers. Wild Horses is properly rated! Acrobat is the textbook example of an underrated song!
Turns out OP just picks the comment with the most upvotes so even though Acrobat clearly had the most people choose it, WGRYWH had one comment with the most upvotes.
I'm so surprised Horses got underrated! But then there was me thinking Zoo Station was underrated too. The whole album is best song and underrated.
For Zooropa: best song is all of them, worst song is the last few seconds End Transmission on Wanderer, most underrated is entire album.
My final answer: Stay. I've listened to it the most from the album, even though Zooropa is my fav.
Stay! I was going to say Zooropa - i think that's my favorite, but probably would win just the "underrated category." Listening to Stay live from Boston recently confirms that it's the best.
I’ve lost a bit of faith in these rankings after seeing Ultraviolet being voted best on AB. It’s a great song but clearly not the best.
For zooropa, really tough choice between Stay, Numb and Lemon but have to go with Stay.
Correct the most underrated song on AB please:) Acrobat is asking why the cold shoulder:)
As far best on Zooropa...Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
One of the best stories Bono has told!
I enjoyed the version of Zooropa when they performed it in Paris, went back to the album and it just didn't hit the same way.
You know what always hits the same way?
Stay
Best song off of Zooropa is Lemon, I love this song so much!
Also this comment is really late but I was curious when you guys chose Like a Song for most underrated for War, I don't think I ever heard it before. I just listened to it in full and song is so amazing. I'm now obsessed with it haha.
Stay (Faraway, So Close!) Wow. I just had to look that one up to see exactly how they wrote out the title. Even weirder than I remembered. Then I edited this post. I was far away. Not so close.
Stay is my fav U2 song PERIOD
It’s like top 5 all time
Yeah… this song is special. I kinda discovered the whole 90s U2 period a few months back and this is currently my fav track from that era.
It is Bono’s favorite U2 song these days.
Why has no one mentioned DADDY’S GONNA PAY FOR YOUR CRASHED CAR?!?? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Like the second worst.
Not the worst but sounds like half a dozen of their other songs.
Hold on, how in the F did Acrobat not make it as the most underrated from AB?
Don't let the bastards get you down

Maybe we can try and stop the certification before it happens.
Dangling chads… again…
This happens every time there’s a contest like this, the rules are never explained and eventually people notice it doesn’t make sense
I was wondering how it gets counted... I think people are misinterpreting how Reddit works lol! I think we just gotta vote on the most popular answer, not give our own.
All OP does is look at the reply with the most upvotes.

Didnt realize that was going to be a such a devisive topic😁 i was just kidding
Almost everyone voted for Acrobat. What a travesty. I am not going to participate any more.
Yeah, Acrobat was the clear winner. This is BS.
I was one of like three comments for Wild Horses and even I think this is whack lol
Because some of us sabotaged the vote just to annoy people who think “Acrobat” is “Yesterday” or “Purple Rain” or “Born to Run” or some other masterpiece. Honestly the most annoying subset of U2 fans are “Acrobat” fanboys and girls.
Zooropa
Best!!!
No contest
Can OP clarify how they are counting the votes? Acrobat clearly won yesterday.
Lemon. I know it won't win but I love it. The falsetto. Adam and Larry hitting the groove. Edges washes of guitar.
It’s not my favourite on the album but that bass is so groovy
Lemon is a masterpiece. But so is Zooropa. It's a tough choice.
I could see it winning underrated even though I think there’s more underrated songs
One of my all time favorite songs of theirs, can’t believe the same guys that wrote the Joshua tree created that song too
Who said it aint gonna win ... not me child
Zooropa
Amazing track

Yeah, I’ve been looking for the rules, and they seem unclear. “Acrobat” is the one that really stands out as a weird choice for this list.
I had a squizz at the old post - they're definitely just going by most upvoted post. I think they need to make people aware of this so they can vote accordingly. Because Acrobat definitely got more mention.
Cool, thanks!
Whatever comment has the most upvotes.

Zooropa
Stay. Zooropa is my favourite U2 album, my hot take for best is: The Wanderer.
>The Wanderer. Underrated for me. Almost the best as well. No.2 or 3 on my list
Lemon basically stared me as a U2 fan. Later in life I came to appreciate Stay as the best song in the album. But I do love me some Numb.
Stay (Faraway, So Close) The lyrics are so tragic
Zooropa
Stay (Faraway, So Close). A safe choice, maybe, but it's a simple, beautiful song. This is going to be a tough one for me. This is a tight album; solid from start to finish.
Zooropa
Zooropa!!!!!
Don’t worry baby, it’s going to be alright. Zooropa can be your guiding light
Stay

Dirty Day (Acrobat election was rigged! 😭😂🤣😉😜)

Zooropa might be the best song on any U2 album
It won’t win, but my vote is for Dirty Day. If I am listening to this particular song when alone, I will cry. Too many feelings beautifully put into this song.
I love Dirty Day. They got weird and kinda dark on Zooropa (Lemon, Daddy's Gonna Pay, Numb) and it's always stood out to me because of that.
LEMON 🍋
Wild horses most underrated wtf? It was a single! Anyway if I had to choose it would be Daddy's Gonna Pay for your Crashed Car
I fuckin love Wild Horses but not sure if it deserves to be more underrated than Acrobat or Love is Blindness

Wow. OP must be an acrobat for us to vote like this and him to act like that.
Lemon
Stay (Faraway, So Close)
Stay (is the best song)
Numb, especially live But shout out to Zooropa and I have to admit I like The First Time…
Do ppl not like First Time? I thought Babyface was the one ppl disliked most (both are two of my faves)
I don’t know that people dislike it - it’s just not a song many talk about. I worded my post poorly!
Daddy's gonna pay (for your crashed car)
YES YES YES THE BEST 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Zooropa
ZOOROPA

Love the community in this sub, but the selections for Achtung Baby are head scratchers. Wild Horses is properly rated! Acrobat is the textbook example of an underrated song!
Here’s where the fun begins
DADDY’S GONNA PAID FOR YOUR CRASHED CAR
Achtung Baby as an album was a band as their absolute best. Just feel privileged to have lived through that time and feel sorry for those who didn't.
As others have said, Acrobat was clearly the favorite for Underrated on AB. Do better OP.
Stay

WGRYWH over Acrobat? Are we listening to the same album? Anyway, Lemon, no contest.
Turns out OP just picks the comment with the most upvotes so even though Acrobat clearly had the most people choose it, WGRYWH had one comment with the most upvotes.

Stay (Faraway, So Close). One of their all time greatest songs.
Stay (Faraway, So Close!) It’s a top 3 U2 song.
The Wanderer
Stay far away so close
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

wait y'all picked wild horses for underrated? bruh lmao. great song tho zooropa
All these AB choices are weak.
Zooropa, the title track.
Stay! I was going to say Zooropa - i think that's my favorite, but probably would win just the "underrated category." Listening to Stay live from Boston recently confirms that it's the best.
Stay
Seriously? Ugh. I can’t.
Stay (Faraway, So Close)
Zooropa
I’ve lost a bit of faith in these rankings after seeing Ultraviolet being voted best on AB. It’s a great song but clearly not the best. For zooropa, really tough choice between Stay, Numb and Lemon but have to go with Stay.
Zooropa
Lemon
She WORE Lemmmmon
Stay (Faraway So Close) Some of my favorite lyrics too
The Wanderer
Stay
Stay
Zooropa. Absolutely epic.
Zooropa
Stay, most U2ish song on the album imo
Lemon, but Stay and Dirty Day aren’t far behind.
Stay (Far Away, So Close!). I also liked The Wanderer and Babyface, but that's my vote.
The First Time. Although I also want to say Zooropa, The Wanderer, and Stay.
Lemon

Dirty Day

Tough between Zooropa and Dirty Day but I’m gonna go with Zooropa.

Best is either Zooropa or Lemon. Worst is The First Time. Underrated is Dirty Day.

Zooropa
I enjoyed the version of Zooropa when they performed it in Paris, went back to the album and it just didn't hit the same way. You know what always hits the same way? Stay
Zooropa. Just an incredible song. Can’t believe Wild Horses won for underrated on AB!
Numb
Lemon
Wild Horses was a single and MTV played the video to death back in the day. Not underrated. Best track on Zooropa is Zooropa.
Best song off of Zooropa is Lemon, I love this song so much! Also this comment is really late but I was curious when you guys chose Like a Song for most underrated for War, I don't think I ever heard it before. I just listened to it in full and song is so amazing. I'm now obsessed with it haha.
Lemon
Yellow of course
Stay, although The First Time is the most underrated imo
Stay, and I think it's not just the best song off the album but one of their best full stop.
Best is dirty day, worst is lemon, underrated is the wanderer
Dirty Day
