The Troubles, by the biggest distance of any song listed here

Which album proved hardest to pick? Pop for me. Do You Feel Loved, Mofo, Gone, Wake Up Dead Man all up there.
 
UF for me, where three tracks (ASOH, Bad, UF) are in my top five U2 songs.


I'm with ya there. It was brutal picking between Wire, Bad, TUF, and ASOH.
Boy was also very difficult because I like almost all the songs equally! That album has way too many good songs.

Impressive spreadsheeting there man. My opinion and interference's is pretty much on par.

Thanks!

Some interesting observations:

  • October, War, Bomb and NLOTH have the most clear-cut favorites so far.
  • Achtung Baby and Songs of Innocence are the most varied in terms of what people consider to be their favorite songs on these albums. Furthermore, these are the only two albums of which every song has been voted as someone's favorite so far.
 
I always find it hard picking up just one song so I'll try my best:

Boy - I will follow
October - October
War - New Year's day
The unforgettable fire - Promenade
The Joshua tree - Where the streets have no name
Rattle and Hum - Heartland
Achtung Baby - One
Zooropa - Stay (Faraway, so close)
Pop - If you wear that velvet dress
All that you can't leave behind - Kite (or the Ground beneath her feet if considering the Uk release)
How to dismantle an atomic bomb - Sometimes you can't make it on your own
No line on the horizon - Moment of surrender
Songs of innocence - Raised by wolves

bonus track: The Crystal ballroom

Which album proved hardest to pick?
I would have liked to pick more than one song for most of them but the hardest ones were definitely Achtung Baby, Pop and Son gs of Innocence!
