Although I still think I got my top 20 list correct, I'm foaming at the mouth reading everyone elses. Picking a U2 top 20 is really difficult and I actually had to start with a TOP 60 and then work my way down from there. Equally hard was, after having found those top 20 gems, ranking them.

Only the first 16 songs in my list will fit on a single 80 minute Compact Disk. It comes in at about 79 and half minutes.

why did you give both the name and the initials?
 
I tried to make a list of my top 20 but failed miserably. So I decided to pick two from every album. It was still really hard to do. And I think I picked 22. Please no one fry my on a stake for that.


In no particular order:

Always
The Hands That Built America
Out Of Control
A Day Without Me
Gloria
Tomorrow
40
Drowning Man
A Sort Of Homecoming
Pride
Running To Stand Still
Bullet The Blue Sky
Van Dieman's Land
Heartland
The Fly
So Cruel
Numb
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Wake Up Dead Man
Mofo
In A Little While
Walk On
 
I'll give you my top 10

1.) One
2.) Beautiful Day
3.) With Or Without You
4.) All I Want Is you
5.) Walk On
6.) So Cruel
7.) Streets
8.) I Will Follow
9.) Pride
10.) Bad
 
To answer your question, Flag Pole Pear, I gave both bc sometimes people dont know what song is being said when its just the intials and so i thought i would do those people a favor and write the name too and yes i know i could have written just the name but I forgot about that until i hit the reply button:wink:
 
I'm surprised this many people have answered considering how difficult the question is. Everyone has had interesting lists.
