I Prefer the Mana Tree

At this point in the draft there's the off chance someone may steal the song you're holding out for. In reality though, it seems things have really opened up, to the point that it's not so much what that person might take of yours, but just curiosity of what that person will take. Also, I'm pretty tired, so let's get on with it.

First, the unknown secret of The Joshua Tree is that it's not as deep as some of the other albums -- just higher high points. Which means, after Milhouse took One Tree Hill, there's not as much to choose from. This track is quite beautiful, though, and a good last card to pull from that deck.

Running to Stand Still

Next, this single didn't make many waves when it was released (just like the album), but I actually quite enjoyed it, with U2 acting at its most playful and fun, which really carries through the track.

Get on Your Boots

(And yes, I'm running to a stand still because I got on my boots.)

Not a fan of Running. Too slow. Get On Your Boots I did like and would've considered later. Nice pick
