Songs You Meet In U2 Heaven - Round Twelve: Pop

[BigMacPhisto]

Welcome once again to our U2 Hall of Fame where we induct the cornerstones of U2's sprawling, awe-inspiring catalog.

In our last election, Your Blue Room proved itself to be anything but a b-side.

Meanwhile, nineteen other tracks (Acrobat/Bullet The Blue Sky/Desire/Dirty Day/Even Better Than The Real Thing/Exit/Heartland/In God's Country/Lemon/Love Is Blindness/Miss Sarajevo/Mysterious Ways/Out Of Control/Red Hill Mining Town/Slug/Tomorrow/Ultra Violet/Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses/Zoo Station) managed to stay above the 25% hurdle.

Remember, you can vote any way you please, hopefully keeping your standards consistent from one album to the next.
