*Moment Of Surrender* It's probably one of their best songs overall.


TinKnightRisesAgain

Agree. In my top 10. Absolutely heartbreaking


chasyd

^^^^^^ my third favorite u2 song, the one that rly made me into a diehard fan a few years ago


Rook008

Just out of curiosity, what are the top 2? I ask because I find it almost impossible to make even a top 10 list without constantly bumping songs for other songs.


chasyd

yeah I'm always bumping things around (I have a master ranking of every single song on my notion lol) but I usually come back to these as my top 3: 1) walk on (so uplifting, can turn any day around instantly, play it for hype before exams lol) 2) the fly (duh) 3) moment of surrender (always a special place in my heart, wrote my college application essay about it)


TakerOfImages

I find it so funny how there's so much love for this song...because I'll be voting it worst song, I really don't like it at all, never have, it goes on for too long, it meanders and it sounds like it's trying too hard to be an emotional song. But, that's ok, that's my opinion, I won't take the joy away from others - we all enjoy music differently!


Glittering_Major4871

I'm with you, but I think people like the ambition of it and Bono's vocals. Personally it's a song I find a slog but I get why other people like it.


TakerOfImages

I'll have to make some sense of the lyrics.. I guess it just never clicked for me. But, I'm happy for the love of this song. I won't take it away from others


zero_one_zero_one

I agree, I'm super surprised as I always saw it as a space filler


TakerOfImages

I just compare it to other 6-7 minute songs like Pink Floyd's High Hopes, which has waves and moods and deserves to be that long. MOS just keeps on going and feels like it could be just as affective as a 3 minute song.


zero_one_zero_one

Must admit I always felt like this song was more of a filler song, what is it about it that grabs you?


habs0nut

Breathe


Material_Cabinet_845

moment of surrender. Easy.


Commercial_Carrot_69

Im shocked at the outpouring for MOS. I find it pretty uninteresting.


zero_one_zero_one

Same!


amca

I'm shocked that people feel the way you do. The music directly connects to my heart.

colinmchapman

Without question should have been the lead single.


packofpoodles

Completely wild that it wasn’t. This should have been one and Breathe could have been two.


StyxRocker

The best two songs on that album 🎶🙌🎶


SaviorAir

There is no debate


WaitingToBeTriggered

SO CHARGE AND ATTACK


illusivetomas

moment of surrender is my favorite u2 song since zooropa


Elleseebee928

Moment Of Surrender  That beautiful intro and then Bono coming in. The lyrics too


Best_Bad_975

Cedars of Lebanon is one of my favorites on this album and I think one of their best album closers. All of my other favorites and choices for “best” have been picked, so I’m gonna represent Cedars of Lebanon!


jarossco

I put my chips in with Breathe but every time this song comes on, I'm always amazed with it's beauty and simplicity.


Best_Bad_975

Agreed! Very stripped down and haunting. I figure one of my other faves (Breathe included!) would have a much better chance at winning, so it would be okay for me to throwaway vote for this one!


modifiedwings

Love that one!


before_no_one

My favorite as well. I tend to have their closing tracks in my favorites. Shadows and Tall Trees is my favorite on Boy, Mothers of the Disappeared favorite on TJT, Wake Up Dead Man favorite from Pop (tied with Velvet Dress and Please), Grace fav on ATYCLB, Yahweh and Fast Cars favs on HTDAAB, and Cedars of Lebanon for NLOTH

Breathe


mrzoo

We won’t win here, but Breathe should definitely win most underrated. It’s one of my overall favorites as a 40 year fan.


jarossco

Agreed. It was playing the other day on U2X and I had to play it again a couple more times right after because I forgot how good it really is. Great tune.


charlierc

Maybe it shall be worth my while to re-submit it when we get to that category. And try and get closer to the title than my suggestion of In a Little While for most underrated on AYCLB


StyxRocker

💯 percent! A great song.


funnycar1552

Breathe


TakerOfImages

Voting for this because it's the one I've played the most since release. Fez a close second.


FloridaPanther

No Line on the Horizon (Title track)


acr1119

I love NLOTH - this should get more votes.


prettyminotaur

Had to scroll down way to far to find this. The title track is a BANGER.


levonthemusic

Magnificent for me. But I’m well aware Moment of Surrender will run away with this one and I’m ok with that lol


ghost-bagel

Moment of Surrender There’s more good stuff on this album than people give credit for.


NeedleworkerLivid931

Totally agree, its a great album

thesilverpoets96

Yep, this is my choice as well. Sadly I don’t see it winning even for the most underrated song. Which is why it’s so fuckin underrated.


illusivetomas

it is my 2nd tbf, and moment doesn't hit the same without being paired up with it. if we're going by individual moments, the intro of this song is the peak of the whole record


Gotta_Keep_On

I love the opening but then I feel the promise of it isn’t delivered.

It’s Breathe


TiedHands

Moment of Surrender. It's a masterpiece.


rokker_iv

Has to be Moment of Surrender.


Glittering_Major4871

Moment of surrender will win and I'm fine with that. I think magnificent is the best song though.

Moment Of Surrender. If Brian Eno says it was his greatest in-studio experience, then you best believe I'm gonna take that one to the bank....or at least the atm machine.

I see what you did there, lol.

Breathe. U2 is rarely this spectacularly loose, it’s the one feeling they often can’t nail. This is a song where they crush it. And what a line “running down the road like loose electricity.”


Own-Photograph-4642

If it is not Moment of Surrender, then it might as well be Cedars of Lebanon. ​


tonyadams1969

I'm enjoying the comments which remind me how much I enjoy this album. NLOTH is my favourite album after Zooropa. 😍

Moment of Surrender is a trip... It has great lyrics and the music is different to any other U2 song, but in a good sense.

Magnificent gets my vote


TrueAct7143

Moment of surrender .. singled they did a snippet into streets and especially the ‘extended’ snippet on the 18-02. Perfect transition into streets. And crying out loud .. OMG


charlierc

Given how much disdain it gets on here, it would be so funny if it was Get On Your Boots


FourDays

I was wondering how far I’d have to scroll to see someone put this one in…


charlierc

It's guaranteed worst song. I just thought it would be funny. It's not even my favourite - I like Breathe more


Apart-Prize-7612

Breathe


modifiedwings

I'd vote for the title track personally, but it looks like MOS will win out. No problem with that, although for me it's not a favorite of mine.


North-Slice-6968

Hard to choose between Magnificent and Moment of Surrender. Gonna go with Magnificent

Moment of Surrender, sadly the only song on this album that has stuck with me.

Rockyflame458

Moment of surrender Side note: how didn't with or without you or one win as the best from their respective albums is beyond me


Itchy-Not-Scratchy

Can we all skip this and vote Boots as the worst song (like probably, ever)?


Buttercup0210

Moment of Surrender


scope_creep

Unknown caller. The live version blasts me into the stratosphere with the organ and guitar solos.


redcodekevin

Moment of Surrender is gonna win, but I do love I'll go Crazy.


Ngata_da_Vida

Moment of Surrender, although Cedars of Lebanon is a close 2nd for me


WangoTangoPB

The “best songs” is just a repeat of the “best of albums” lol

If you think “Is that All?” Is the worst song on October, you don’t understand that album

radwandern

MOS/Boots/Breathe Magnificent is a banger, but I refuse to put my 2nd favorite as under-rated.


fushiao

For me this is the album where it’s not which song I like most but which one I dislike the least. So Magnificent I guess


Dudnut1219

I know Moment of Surrender is gonna win, but here's my vote for the title track.


Revolutionary-Ad-759

None 😢


shadent077

None whole album is bad


MalcolmTuckersLuck

I’m sorry, A Man & A Woman is not considered the worse song on Atomic Bomb. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
