Top 10 U2 Songs-2000's Era

[Galeongirl]

I completely have no idea why people consider it one of the best of the decade. Really. I just don't get the appeal of the song, it's mediocre to me at least, nothing special. The fact that they keep playing it every night made me loathe it. What's so great about it?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Idk, I always remember it as the whole Joey Ramone song, so it's got double power in my mind.

I love the song for the reasons i already mentioned...it just jells to me as a nice little pop song with some depth. I can relate to the sentiment throughout as well.

I can't tell you why others consider it a great song--music moves people in different ways. All I know is the song seems to have a pretty broad appeal so it must connect in some way.

No top 10 for, POE, A man and a woman or STAND UP COMEDY.

One vote for Boots. Looks like they made the right choice for opening single!! As for Electrical Storm, they should really alternate it with WOWY in the encore. I thought the live versions were not bad.

It is pretty interesting to me to see the amount of love for IALW and how many people on the forum think it falls into the category of "10 best of the 2000's."

Thanks for trying to explain. I guess I never managed to fully 'get' the song before the live thing ruined it for me.. shame.

Maybe I'm just biased but how come most people either have Beautiful Day as a top 3 or not at all?

Goodness, one of my favorite songs of all time.

[BigMacPhisto]

According to this, a 14 song Best of 2000-2010 would look like:

1. Moment of Surrender
2. No Line On The Horizon
3. Magnificent
4. City Of Blinding Lights
5. Kite
6. Walk On
7. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
8. In A Little While
9. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
10. Vertigo
11. Fez - Being Born
12. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
13. Mercy
14. Unknown Caller

ATYCLB - 4 (in addition to the 2 tracks on Best Of 1990-2000)
HTDAAB - 3
NLOTH - 5
non-album - 2


By the way, is it just me or has All That You Can't Leave Behind's profile risen again? Bono went as far as to call it their third best recently and it did get a lot of play on the current tour. The album was first met with rave reviews from critics and fans, then the fans (particularly Interferencers), began tiring of it and calling it one of their worst. Now, it seems to earn a lot of positive responses, especially for tracks like "Stuck In A Moment" and "In A Little While" that seemed to have been loathed around here for the better part of the decade. Interesting.

According to this, a 14 song Best of 2000-.
