What are each of the four members favorite U2 songs?

[Oregoropa]

I'm sure each has a personal favorite to listen to or perform live. I read once here that Bono's favorite is Miss Sarajevo. Can anyone confirm that?

 

[Nick66]

Bono: Kite/Miss Sarajevo (tie)
Edge: Drowning Man
Adam: Pride
Larry: Streets

 

[djerdap]

Bono - Acrobat, Your Blue Room, Miss Sarajevo, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Adam - Drowning Man
Larry - United Colours, Ito Okashi

Spoiler

I can't remember The Edge. Larry's real one is I Still Haven't Found.

Bono has changed his favourite song in about each book publication/interview around... mentioned have been Miss Sarajevo (Michka Assayas book), Your Blue Room, City of Blinding Lights, and I think even In A Little While once.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I had Larry pegged as more of a United Colours man.

Yah. I thought for sure he stated "Stay" was his favorite at some point, as well

 

[mirrorballman]

I thought Bono also mentioned Mofo a couple times as one of his favorite.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah I think I've read Stay and Mofo both as well... So many different ones

 

[The Panther]

I thought it was Adam, in the 80s, who said that 'Drowning Man' was his favorite (not Edge)...?

 

[popacrobat]

I remember Larry was asked what the best U2 song was at Madison Square Garden and he said Streets. He knows what's up.

Obviously best=/=favorite, but yea.

edit -- just kidding, he did say it was his favorite:

[cobl04]

I thought Please was Bono's favourote.

Not that he'd be open to any of the songs suggested, but yeah

 

[Tommy WM]

I vaguely remember reading (I think) Bono saying Electrical Storm is probably also one of their best. Stuck is probably up there now as well along with all the others stated.

A good post would be songs that the band have said they don't like. I've read Bono say that for years he disliked Bad because he thought the lyrics sounded unfinished. Larry didn't want to play Pride during Popmart either apparently. Obviously A Celebration is no ones favourite because it hasn't been played since 1983 and is definitely one of their greatest early tracks.

 

[Catman]

Kinda sorta quasi maybe a little almost interesting--a 13-year-old thread about Bono's favorite U2 song.

Also, I stumbled upon this article from around the time NLOTH was released--kinda surprised by a few of the artists who happen to be U2 fans (or, at the very least, just really, really love "Beautiful Day"). Yeah, it's sorta off topic, but whatevs

I remember Bono saying that about Electrical Storm too.

Ewwwww... they only like ATYCLB and the popular tracks or albums. They must be bad people!

 

[LemonMelon]

I thought Lemon was an Adam favorite.

The band, critics, and fans agree 'Freedom For My People' is the definitive U2 track

UTEOW is a campfire song and Bullet is all a bunch of clanging and mumbling.
Why can't they play more adventurous songs like Grace, Stand Up Comedy, and Unknown Caller?
