Not that I'd take Dave Marsh's word for gospel, given how much he loathes U2. http://www.miaminewtimes.com/music/rattle-and-bum-6360325

Always thought "Mofo" was one of their great songs, as good as anything they'd ever done.

Never could fully get into this song. I like it fine, but mostly it feels like a genre exercise in the same way that the entirety of Bowie's Earthling was. I think Do You Feel Loved is a much more successful attempt at recontextualizing those sounds.

And I think Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, which wouldn't have really fit on Zooropa or Pop.

Seems like it would fit pretty well on Pop actually. But, again, in a different mix and definitely without those Broadway strings.
