I love you for putting Do You Feel Loved on your list. Even though I didn't put it on mine.

1. One
2. Where the Streets Have No Name
3. Discotheque
4. The Fly
5. The Ground Beneath Her Feet

those are ultimately my top 5 U2 songs. I like the thread where I get 15 better

 

[Zoots]

I love you for putting Do You Feel Loved on your list. Even though I didn't put it on mine.

Well... I didn't look at it in a Top 5 sense. More like 5 songs you'd listen to today if that's all you're allowed.

 

[AtomicBono]

just today? I thought it was for your whole life just today makes a difference!

 

[Zoots]

just today? I thought it was for your whole life just today makes a difference!

Lemme put it this way... I wanted to choose at least one song from Pop. And DYFL is a damn fine song. Sometimes I feel like it's even better than my top 5 regular, Gone. So DYFL deserves to be in there anyway.
