From the album October, 1981:

 

Versus



From the Original Soundtracks I album, 1995.

3 days to vote...go!

 

Hmm... Not one of the strongest face offs. It is around With A Shout that the October album loses steam, with the songs not being as strong as those before it. But Plot 180 is one of those minimalistic Passengers tracks that don't have a lot going on. My vote goes to With A Shout then as it is an original U2 song.

 

Listened to Passengers for the first time in years last week, and it's actually pretty good ambient/background music. But I'll go with the actual song here, mainly for Edge's fireworks on guitar.

 

I'm assuming the primary knock against October has to do with underdeveloped lyrics? Whatever, I love 'With a Shout', it's just so exuberant.
