[AtomicBono]

I feel so incredibly sorry for those who think Pop is their worst record. It is #2, within touching distance of AB.

Okay, that's it, I'm starting a Pop appreciation thread. Because Pop is the best album made by anyone, ever. [/my opinion that no one agrees with]

As for this...well the first 5 are static I guess, but then again maybe not. As for the others, I really can't put any order to it. So it's completely random!

1. One
2. Where the Streets Have No Name
3. The Fly
4. Discotheque
5. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
6. Gone
7. Mercy
8. Do You Feel Loved
9. Mofo
10. Bad
11. New Year's Day
12. Sunday Bloody Sunday
13. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
14. Please
15. I Will Follow
16. Exit
17. Until the End of the World
18. Ultraviolet
19. Acrobat
20. Love is Blindness
21. Stateless
22. New York
23. Original of the Species
24. Stay
25. With or Without You
26. Zooropa
27. Beautiful Day
28. Fire
29. Last Night on Earth
30. Wake Up Dead Man

I probably forgot something vital. Oh well!! Honorable mentions go to Love and Peace or Else, Vertigo, and Sometimes...the Bomb songs that couldn't quite make it, even though HTDAAB is like my 4th or 5th favourite album funny how that works

[cobl04]

The lack of City of Blinding Lights on your lists makes me sad

I'm scared that one day I won't like COBL as much as I did... What was it like live?

Watch for the latest inclusions from War and JT - apart from the tracks on the best of.

1. City of Blinding Lights
2. Where the Streets Have No Name
3. Kite
4. Bad
5. Until the End of the World
6. Acrobat
7. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
8. Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
9. Miracle Drug
10. With or Without You

11. New Year's Day
12. One
13. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (everyone says this is overrated...I haven't heard one person praise it since I became a member!)
14. Sunday Bloody Sunday
15. Running to Stand Still
16. Walk On
17. All I Want is You
18. Beautiful Day
19. Red Hill Mining Town

20. The Unforgettable Fire
21. The Fly
22. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
23. Exit
24. Pride (In the Name of Love)
25. Crumbs From Your Table
26. Out of Control
27. Staring at the Sun
28. Drowning Man
29. Like a Song...
30. '40'

I want to put on One Tree Hill, When I Look At The World and New York on so badly but I can't fit them...but I'm telling you right now all three are better than #31. I can't be bothered making the list 'official', if you like. That was relatively easy for me...I could rank all the 94 songs I've heard...but I'm not going to. I'm not sure on the list though...

Boy - #26 (#26)
War - #11, #14, #28, #29, #30 (#22)
The Unforgettable Fire - #4, #20, #24 (#16)
The Joshua Tree - #2, #10, #13, #15, #19, #23 (#14)
Rattle and Hum - #17 (#17)
Achtung Baby - #5, #6, #8, #12, #21, #22 (#12)
Pop - #27 (#27)
All That You Can't Leave Behind - #3, #7, #16, #18 (#11)
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - #1, #9, #25 (#12)

So according to this ATYCLB is my best album, with HTDAAB second and Achtung Baby third (TJT fourth?? That's criminal!!)

Yes, I am crazy.

[MacPhistoPT]

Irishteen, your list is It was hard for me to do 30... you made 50

Glad to see that your top of the top is almost equal to mine, excluding one

 

[U2girl]

I forgot to add in the top 10 list only the first three are constant; the rest can move around any given day.

(Ground beneath her feet and Stateless instead of Surrender/Seconds if we're including things like Passengers and MDH soundtrack)

 

[chickadee]

Ah but you see just cause it's not top 30 doesn't mean we don't like a song. There are so many great ones! And I forgot a few in mine so it's pretty much null and void, hehe.

Re: Pop - my opinion is that AB is the best album ever, but I agree that Pop is brilliant.

 

[Irishteen]

[TheQuiet1]

Learn from the master. In a major upset, my favorite U2 song is from their worst record.

I have this strange urge to laugh! I don't know why but I just think that's fantastic. Really fantastic. So cool.

Nice selections, Khanada! Particularly, Lady w/ the Spinning Head & Alex Descends Into Hell. By the way, about your top 10... did you really intend for most of the albums to be well represented like that? I mean, I knew even before you posted that those are your fav songs but... did you make an attempt to pick from several different albums? Cos.. man oh man, there's 7 albums and a single in your top 10!
