Top 10 songs post-AtyclB era! (NLOTH included)

[BigMacPhisto]

Just to be ridiculous.

1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
3. Electrical Storm
4. Miracle Drug
5. Vertigo
6. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
7. All Because Of You
8. No Line On The Horizon
9. FEZ - Being Born
10. Moment Of Surrender

Best Of 1990/2000 - 1
HTDAAB - 5
NLOTH - 4

I will tally this nonsense and it should add more fuel to the "last album versus the new one" fire.

 

[Screwtape2]

Mercy and NLOTH, minus Cedars and White As Snow.

#1) Elevation
#2) Get on Your Boots / Unknown Caller
#3) Levitate
#4) Fez - Being Born

[Popmart Shopper]

1.Electrical Storm
2.Native Son
3.Miracle Drug
4.SYCMIOYO
5.COBL
6.Original of the Species
7.Magnificent
8.Unknown Caller
9.Breathe

[Axver]

1. Fez-Being Born
2. White As Snow
3. Electrical Storm
4. Magnificent
5. Cedars Of Lebanon
6. Smile
7. No Line On The Horizon II
8. Native Son
9. Unknown Caller
10. One Step Closer

The top four's close. Magnificent could've been #1. And Moment Of Surrender was nearly #10, but OSC deserves some love. In any case, the chart's grossly stacked against HTDAAB anyway. 5 from NLOTH, 2 HTDAAB-era tracks, 1 Best Of track, 1 HTDAAB track, 1 NLOTH b-side.

^No ATYCLB?

 

[Slipstream]

1. Magnificent
2. Kite
3. Sometimes...
4. Moment of Surrender
5. Smile
6. I'll Go Crazy...
7. Original of the Species
8. Walk On
9. Stand Up Comedy
10. City of Blinding Lights

For myself, I'd easily replace these 10 with any 12 off of Achtung Baby

 

[Axver]

^No ATYCLB?

You might want to read the original post (and revise your list). It's post-ATYCLB, i.e. material from after ATYCLB. i.e. Best Of 1990-2000, HTDAAB, U2:18, NLOTH, and whatnot.

 

[MMP]

Wow, that's true... but it's really weird. It should be post 1998 material. That would make more sense. Anyway, I don't think that would make any difference for you with ATYCLB songs.

 

[Axver]

I would've included TGBHF, though.

 

[MMP]

That's MDH. (Ok, it closes ATYCLB in some places.)
Anyway, now I just realized I forgot Electrical Storm, I'll need to revise my list anyway.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

1. Mercy
2. Electrical Storm
3. Tower Of Song w/ Leonard Cohen
4. Miss Sarajevo (Live)
5. No Line On The Horizon 2

5. No Line On The Horizon 2
6. Fast Cars
7. No Line On The Horizon

9. Beat On The Brat
10. The Hands That Built America

Beat On The Brat? What's that?

And if we can include live stuff, than this entire list would be a mixture of Vertigo Tour performances of back-catalog songs (and COBL) and new NLOTH material.

 

[2861U2]

1) Electrical Storm
2) Magnificent
3) Miracle Drug
4) Breathe
5) Mercy
6) Native Son
7) NLOTH 2

10) Unknown Caller

NLOTH- 4
HTDAAB era- 4
Best Ofs- 2

 

[Bean Skidds]

In no particular order

1. Magnificent
2. Moment of Surrender
3. Cedars of Lebanon
4. Smile
5. Original of the Species
6. Mercy
7. Window in the Skies
8. Native Son
9. Fez - Being Born
10. No Line On The Horizon v2

If this had included ATYCLB, then Kite and In A Little While would be on there.

Its good to see Mercy and Smile making people's lists. I totally agree.

 

[MMP]

Beat On The Brat? What's that?

A Ramones cover released on a tribute album. Not hard to find.
