Really? My least favorite song off Achtung Baby is Mysterious Ways, quite easly. Not just because it's a godawful annoying pop song, it just dosen't fit in there. Still I agree about it being a great album, I know that's not easy to say down in these parts.

"Mysterious Ways" is a good song. It's a good, r&b song. Maybe that doesn't fit the mold of Achtung Baby, but that doesn't make a bad song. Achtung Baby is one of my favorite alternative/indie-rock albums.

at this point, knowing what direction the band would eventually take, the track has more value as being indicative of where the band would eventually head off to with kidA.

at the time, and keep in mind this was pre-napster, let alone the idea of downloading entire discographies. it sounded out of place, like a piece of filler to split the sides. hell, you could have found it on cassette if you looked hard enough back then.

just because it's an early piece of thom yorke electro-ramblings doesn't automatically make it gold. you like it, fine, i'm gonna keep skipping it.
Yeah everything by Radiohead with guitars sucks.

I actually enjoyed most of the non-punk songs on that album. I just happen to hate that one.

Hmm...I guess I'm in the minority by saying that I love Roll With It (a major guilty pleasure, I know) and think that Wonderwall is the one dud on WTSMG?
