How about some alternative Lead Singles that could have worked?
Alternate Lead Singles
Three - Out Of Control - no changed, the only exception; they nailed it when you compare to the B-Sides
Boy - ATAP - could have been a good radio song
October - Gloria - unless someone wants to put forth ITABTAW
(which I actually enjoy as a song!)War - THBAO - this song has grown on me so much
TUF - TUF - not a lot of singles here; even my favourite song 'Bad' I don't feel would have worked as a single
JT - IGC - has a great hook and feel and pulls you in quick
R&H - AIWIY - I think probably the strongest new song on the album, certainly the one that resonates with most fans
AB - UV(LMW) - was never a single, but I think is as experimental as The Fly (given that they share the same original song) to achieve the 'cutting down the Joshua Tree' metaphor
Zooropa - S(FSC) - no real comment; just would have been I think better than Numb
Pop - SATS - probably the most radio friendly to draw people into an amazing album
ATYCLB - SIAMYCGOO - some might disagree with this one; it was a great song at the time that could still have been the 'U2 is back' song that was achieved with BD
HTDAAB - ABOY - a great rocker that could have worked for that iPod commercial
NLOTH - IGCIIDGCT - but album version. Again, like SATS to draw people in
SOI - CR - for me, unlike GOYB and Elevation, I will intentionally put the album version on
SOE - TLTTGYA - I'll again say, this would have drawn in the casuals.
SOA - Mercy.....hey I can dream
