This list is pretty much what you'd expect. Nice to see. I guess. I mostly agree.

Oz.. are you sure you don't mean One Tree Hill?
 
Man, how f*&%ing brilliant is an album that has, in 8th position (8th postion!) one of the most explosive and dynamic rock songs off all time -- and in 10th position (that's 10th position!!!) a song as hauntingly beautiful as 'Mother's of the Disappeared!! How can that be possible one might ask? Easy, it's The Joshua Tree.

awesome! wtshnn is my totally favourite song off of there. rtss is awesome too, i'm so glad it made #4. i'm disappointed about exit being at #9, and motd being at #10, but hey, i know everyone has different opinions and those are the kinda songs you either love or hate. besides, it's cool to like the underdog! :D

yes I did, IGC is my other fave song from J-Tree so I must of been thinking of it at the time whilst I was typing and maybe I hadnt had enough caffeine and nicotine by that time of the morning for my brain to start functioning propperly!!!!!, but One Tree Hill is sublime I actually do think now that it should of been first:)

I complied everything and I have similar views as KhannaRhodes... exit should have been higher in the rating ;)..its also strange how our individual rating were very similar
