I wrote on the WAYD board that I was listening to U2's "So Cruel," which I consider to be one of the best 5 songs U2 ever wrote. And that made me think of the other songs I would put in that category. What would you consider their 5 greatest songs? These are mine (in no order, because it's too hard): * So Cruel * Stay (Faraway, So Close) * With or Without You * Where the Streets Have No Name Oh, the pain! I can't choose just one #5.... I'm going with: *The Unforgettable Fire (simply because I love it)

the letter u and the number 2 -- negativland

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Come on, Dave, don't you like even one U2 song?

i guess i'll play along Sunday Bloody Sunday Bullet The Blue Sky With or Without You thats all i can think of....you know the radio hits. i havent owned any U2 recordings since highschool.

I had almost all of them on tape (except "Boy") when I was a young one. I still do, I guess...I just can't find them all. A little while ago I heard one of U2's new songs on the radio, and I realized that Bono's voice was like the voice of a family member or something. I just felt so comfortable and "right" when I listened to him, because after years of separation I still knew his voice so well. It was kind of an odd experience....I'll sound like a nut if I try to explain it further.

1. Mysterious Ways (Achtung Baby! is their best record IMO) 2. Stay 3. Stuck in a Moment 4. All I Want Is You 5. Zoo Station

wait. "One" has to be near the top of that list. i'd also include Bullet The Blue Sky and Pride in the top ten.

Mysterious Ways and One were also in the running for my list. I agree -- I think Achtung Baby is their best album, followed by the Joshua Tree, followed by....well, there's another fight.

sunday Bloody Sunday Pride New year's Day Van Diemen's Land I will follow

i'm with dave..

Ooh, New Year's Day is on my contender's list, too.

i will follow is a really good song. i used to really love them, but i sort of fell out of the habit of listening to them when i hit college.

- running to stand still - who's gonna ride your wild horses - hold me/thrill me/kiss me/kill me - mysterious ways - ?? number 5, that's a toughy.... maybe tommorow.

Walk On Bullet the Blue Sky All I want is you Song off Joshua Tree about preacher, dont remember what its called, "You know they caught the killer, you know he went astray, used to tay awake to drive the dreams he had away..wanted to believe in the hands of love." Sunday Bloody Sunday (Off rattle and hum) October

Hmmm..My favorites... With or Without You Where the Streets Have No Name Mysterious Ways It's a Beautiful Day Stuck in a Moment ..In no particular order.
