It's a cold night and you put on a U2 record to bring you in a better mood...but it goes wrong and in the end you feel worse than before. But not because of melancholy, but because you've been just freaked out from one of the tracks. Ever experienced this and if so, which tune caused it? I sometimes find myself skipping tracks like Night & Day or Love is Blindness because of their 'spooky' factor...

Exit. I would never skip it, but damn, that's a spooky song

Acrobat.

Both the above best listened to loud on good headphones, lossless and in the dark,....

Exit, Love is Blindness

Stuck in a moment and Crumbs. Frightens me how the best band in the world can create such awful songs.

Honestly, Exit and Love is blindness have been mentioned. Also Bad and Tomorrow have the potential to frighten you if you're in the right/wrong mood, imho...

Exit. I absolutely love it though. Acrobat, Silver and Gold, Drowning Man, October (not really spooky, just depressing).

My God. I could never read that sort of book. Can't even watch any type of horror movie...

Exit is always a good scare.

The Fly can creep you out if you listen to it right, phone call from hell and all.

Bono has often described The Fly as a crank phone call from hell. 'Check I gotta go, i'm running out of change'.
