Two versions of the same song.

Listen to both without prejudice and say which you prefer.

U2's original from 1987 or Scottish band the Chimes cover from 1990

    Loved that Chimes version when I was younger. I still prefer it.

    I’m sure I have the album on cassette somewhere.

    First time I've heard the Chimes version, it's very good.

    Still prefer U2 version, probably due to the guitar sound.

    Often I am pretty indifferent to both choices, but this time I quite like both. Not a lot in it, but perhaps I will go for U2 because they promote the sentiment of the song more strongly.

    No comparison is there?
    U2 all day, that other lot should be called The Crimes, slow it down, smash some dof dof plastic drum machine on it and put it out...all that is bad in music.

    Haven't heard that Chimes version since it was out around 1990, which probably says something!

    Nice vocals, but a vote for U2

    Never heard the chimes version and not bothered if I never hear it again. I can see the skill but it’s just not my thing. I don’t much care for what U2 have become but this track is an all time favourite and that guitar sound is truly iconic.
