The Hands That Built America
Indian Summer Sky
Twilight

...are all underrated

Shadows and tall trees
Twilight

October:
Rejoice
Is that all?

War:
Drowning Man (I'm crazy about thins song)
The Refugee

TUF:

[SunBloc]

Silver & Gold
Dirty Day
Holy Joe
Staring a the Sun
Do you feel Loved

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

mikal, your list looks good. If there has to be one song off of "Boy" I think I would put "Twilight" in the place of "Shadows and Tall Trees" though.

I would add "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World" and "Wire" as well.

I always appreciated the opening to "Wire" with it's clever use of the words "in a sense" in place of "innocence" (assuming this was Bono's thinking)

 

[WinnieThePoo]

it's all about love comes tumbling

 

[catlhere]

Dirty Day

wayt wut??/?

I can't really think of anything more to add to the list. Those and the one's people have mentioned seem about right. I think making a compilation of overrated songs would be even more delightful

Mercy anyone?

 

[Snowlock]

I'd go with:

Twilight
Rejoice
Like A Song
The Refugee
Red Hill Mining Town - Well liked, but doesn't get the cred it deserves
Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World
Stateless
A Celebration
Treasure
Everlasting Love

Love Rescue Me
Some Days Are Better Than Others
Dirty Day (Better Kiss)
Electrical Storm (Band Version)
A Man & A Woman.
