I actually think the version from rattle and hum is the definitive version:

You could argue that the ZooTV version of Mysterious Ways is the definitive, but they’re very close.

The Rattle and Hum performance of Bad is my favorite.

Garfunkel's "Bridge over troubled Water" is great, he nailed it.

RC Vikings

If Art Garfunkel didn't have a face that exactly matches his name, he could've had a better solo career.

U2 album versions often suck. I likely wouldn’t be much of a U2 fan if it weren’t for live U2. Nearly every song is much

RUNBYU1

8/7/20 11:57am

I disagree that their studio albums suck. I love them. But U2 live is

Loon to the Moon

Yeah they don’t suck but the Live versions are so much better that it makes you not want listen to the album versions.
