I feel like I'm dipping into the next tier of songs. This tier consists of lesser known non-singles that simply rock. They are the songs that I play over and over again, skipping other songs on the album to get to them. The question, do I pick the ones I truly love or the ones I don't think will make it back to me? I'm picking the ones I think Rambler and Dopey would take and hoping the ones I truly love fall to me.
First one is a song I think Chucksta will kick himself for not taking. I have a vague memory of him telling me about 5 years ago that this is known as one of the best non-single U2 songs. It's also the clear best song off of Boy and I would like to represent that album without necessarily having to take I Will Follow.
The Electric Co.
The next song is another great song off of Joshua Tree. After Bullet the Blue Sky, I feel the album really tails off...until this song. Totally pulls the album together near the end and solidifies it as a great album.
One Tree Hill
Upon Rambler reading that I took Electric Co. this was his response: "F___. F___. I was banking on taking it. F___. Can you at least take the live version? It's so much better."
So I'm actually taking the live version.

What Milhouse said. Someone wash this salty taste out of mouth.
One Tree Hill: Great song. (Crappy TV show.) One of those late-game tracks I would have definitely considered taking, but at this point there's enough great songs (on Joshua Tree too) that I can manage. But it will take me a while to get over Electric Co.
