Some of those songs would definitely have been contenders for the album, but what happened was -- and it is a classically "U2" thing to do -- we had quite a lot of time to work on the record, but right in the middle the Amnesty tour came up. That took us out of circulation for about two months, because of the dates, recovering, getting the gear back, and getting back into the studio. We ran out of time. There would have been two records, depending on which songs we decided to finish. There was this one album, the "blues" album that Bono was talking about, and another, much more "European," which is kind of the way I was led. "Luminous Times" would have been on it, as would "Walk to the Water." In a funny way you aim somewhere, but the album itself makes up its own mind. We hustled to try to finish it, and to get our own views across, but it is a democratic band, and neither my nor Bono's feelings came through completely. What we ended up with was The Joshua Tree." - The Edge
This quote rather aptly ties in with Greg's post. With Or Without You is absolutely one of their finest singles.

She is the car crash
She is the thunder
She is the waves and
She pulls me under
