The best song ever…
Vertigo by U2

The song he wishes they hadn’t recorded…
It’s a Secret!
“Anything we haven’t released, I wish we hadn’t recorded. There are a few sessions you’ll go into and they try and make you do a certain thing, but when you get the song back, it’s f***ing awful.”
So he loves everything they’ve released! That or he doesn’t want to upset fans…
