20 March, 2022 only three, which is difficult
the whole album is excellent. I think I will choose them for moments that make me remember my life:
1.- One
2.- Ultraviolet (light my way)
3.- who is going to ride your wild horses?

As much as I love One, Acrobat for me is by far the best song here, it has gotten me through some days, both personal and professional. There is a really emotional, angry eloquence to this song. It just kicks all the asses and takes all the names. for me.
UltraViolet is amazing, was great live on tour with Bono's laser coat.
Wild Horses has such a longing attached to it for me, it is a real heart stealer.

3. Ultraviolet. I great build up in the intro to a great rocker especially one for the open road. I'm surprised I haven't picked up more speeding fines with this one.
2. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. The lyrics evoke elements of longing, desire, danger and something just out of reach. All good things in a solid balls out rocker.
3. One. When I heard the lyrics "Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head". I was blown away, and still am.

21 January, 2022 My 3 Achtung Baby songs
1 - So Cruel
2- One
3 - Who's Gonna Ride your Wild Horses
Looking forward to the live recording of So Cruel.
Have attended 7 shows the past 34 years, and never heard this song performed live.
Possibly my absolute favorite U2 song

21 January, 2022 Three songs from Achtung Baby that you
This is terribly hard but here goes:
1) Until The End of World - Makes the list thanks to all the amazing live performances. Larry's baseline is haunting, Edge is at his angriest yet melodic and the lyrics carry the impending doom that you realize is all around you and ending in a fury.
2) So Cruel - One of the most underrated in the the U2 catalog, sadly not performed enough live. The tragedy in this song can be lost in the melody and tone. The pain you can't quit always hurts the most.
3) One - Can't leave off one of the best songs ever written. Performed live, it brings it's own sense of spirituality that is unforgettable. There are few better - from anyone.

19 January, 2022 Can't do this ...
One of the greatest albums ever, each song a masterpiece, impossible to pick three. With a gun to my head:
Until the end of the world
One
Even better than the real thing
FinnFan
19 January, 2022 Then and now?
Happy to love and relove the album, as the songs seem to stay favourites but also appear to be more actual now, after a good period of life lived since the release.
Love is Blindness
The Fly
Even better than the real thing
if I have to choose. Love a good mix.
