Dipping into the 90's and 00's

There is one basic rule for this draft. Of the 15 songs needed to be drafted on this album 5 need to be from the 80's, 3 need to be from the 90's, and 3 need to be from the 00's. With these two picks I'll have one from each decade.

I used to like this song but it wasn't a 5 star song for me. Catchy but kind of lost on the radio to me. Doing research for this draft and hearing it in the context of the album, I was awe struck. Easily the best song on Achtung Baby and of the 90's. It also plays into my harder rock style than Chucksta and Dopey. Truthfully, I bet I could wait about 5 more rounds to take this, but I'd like to get my top songs from the 90's and 00's due to it's overall weakness versus taking another 80's hit that probably won't be there next turn. Ditto with the 00's song. A definite 1 or 1A to another 00's song in an otherwise weak decade.

City of Blinding Lights is U2's best work this decade. Great choice.
