Powerful and one of their best - <br><br><br>Over the counter with a shotgun<br>Pretty soon everybody got one
****
I remember years ago having a compilation with this track on it and immediatley fell in love with it. After discovering what was U2 I soon became aware of what a brilliant yet diverse back catalouge they had. The Hollywood Tonight Remix is the stand out version to the norm you hear.
*****
Upbeat and uptempo - the group's first #1 UK single. The drums and handclaps are great! The harmonica addition is quite bizarre but works really well.
*****
Great track
****
Yeah it's good enough but they have far better

First UK #1 but really don't like this one. Annoying and repetitive. 7th UK top 10. Their first UK#1. UK#1 and Ireland#1.

Pretty good U2 song.
******
awesome track,one of there best
*****
Rock classic, distinctive sound. Surged up the Aussie charts in 1988, and did the same in my personal charts, quickly replacing Sweet Child O' Mine as my favourite song of the time.
*****
Another song that I didn't know was by U2! Nevertheless, it's another fantastic song from a fantastic band.

Great track, there's some very cool music behind this one.
******
Sensational!!
******
Brilliant!
******
Wonderful
**
Poor compared to other U2 tracks.
****
Good and enjoyable, and also a nice inclusion of the harmonica, but I must say that they have had better songs.
******
6 stars
*
Hate it.
***
Nothing special.
****
Classic U2 effort. Cool song. #3 of 1988 in New Zealand.
****
De eerste single van het Rattle & Hum album werd natuurlijk een grote hit.Toch vind ik dit rocknummer wat te eentonig om het bij de grootste U2 tracks te zetten.
*****
Great Song
