Here is a listing of 30 U2 songs.Please tell me if you prefer the live versions of these songs or the studio version.I wont list NLOTH songs because most to all of us have not had a chance to hear them live in person yet.I'll give my thoughts first:
1.Sunday Bloody Sunday-Live
2.New Years Day-Live
3.Unforgettable Fire-Studio
4.A Sort of Homecoming-Studio
5.Bad-Both
6.Pride-Both
7.Where The Streets Have No Name-Much Better Energy Live
8.With or Without You-Studio
9.I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For-Studio
10.Bullet The Blue Sky-Live (particularly ZOO TV)
11.Running To Stand Still-Live(particularly ZOO TV)
12.Desire-Studio
13.Angel Of Harlem-Both
14.Zoo Station-Both
15.One-Live
16.The Fly-Both
17.Mysterious Ways-Live
18.Daddys Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car-Live
19.Lemon-Live
20.Dirty Day-Much More Kick Live
21.Discotheque-Studio(Vertigo version pretty good though)
22.Mofo-Studio a little better
23.Gone-Both
24.Please-Live
