I have a few U2 songs on this list and first up is Please from Pop, a slow build and it ‘pops’ when Bono goes full pleading falsetto late on.

Hothouse Flowers know how to finish a song, and here we have a quiet, delicate tune, until the volume is turned up with a minute and a half left…

Really enjoyed this challenge with the range of choices from contributors being quite extraordinary.
I think Tori Amos on Winter shows exactly where orchestral arrangements elevate significant vocal passages, so deserves top ranking.

The first of 2 Beatles singles in my top 3, 4 if you include Strawberry Fields which accompanied this as a double A side.
Just imagine that, hearing PL & SF on release?
