5. Gone *
6. Bad *
7. The Fly
8. Please *
9. With Or Without You *

* thanks in part due to the stellar live versions!

New Year's Day used to be in my Top 5 but for some reason, lately I've lost interest in that song. Hold Me Thrill Me is a new entry!

 

[catlhere]

I'm not sure if we are supposed to include our opinion based on live performances. I think that is why Bad is showing up so strongly as someone else mentioned. Because in my opinion the album version is smelly and but then again, I like Streets best and thats not as good on TJT as it is live.

But still, awesome unexpected picks from alot of people! here is my contribution, not withstanding live cuts.

1 Where the Streets Have no Name
2 With Or Without You
3 I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
4 One
5 Zooropa
6 God Pt. II
7 Sunday Bloody Sunday
8 I Threw A Brick Through A Window
9 One Tree Hill
10 An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart

Wow, looking at that list, I change my mind, scratch that. Use this, i'm dead serious:

#1. Where The Streets Have No Name
#2. With Or Without You
#3. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
#4. Exit
#5. Running To Stand Still
#6. In God's Country
#7. One Tree Hill
#8. Bullet the Blue Sky
#9. Trip Through Your Wires
#10. Red Hill Mining Town

(I rearranged the order so my favorites would be on top. mothers gets cut cuz it doesn't do it for me, live is much better)

[getupoffurknees]

The Fly has done great so far, also Until the End of the World

It looks like its going to be a pretty good battle between Where the Streets Have No Name and Bad for first

I am surprised Vertigo has not done so well, Pride has stunk it up, City of Blinding Lights has done pretty well, also I didn't think Stay would do as well as it has so far

[cjboog]

I will probably announce the final results on Saturday or Sunday if everyone has put theirs in that wants to.

 

[U2Fan101]

This is by far the most difficult thing I have done. I started off first with my top 30. Then I was able to narrow it down to 18. That part was easy.

Then it took me a good 10 minutes just to narrow it down to 10.


THEN it took me another 10 minutes to put the songs in order. It's hard to rank U2 songs.


Methril.


1. Wake Up Dead Man
2. Gone
3. New Year's Day
4. The Fly
5. New York

[DreamOutLoud13]

Hmm. I started with a list of about 20, and narrowed it down. Picking and ranking the first 7 was easy. Choosing only three (out of the many, many I had listed) to fill the remaining three spaces was painfully hard.

3. Running to Stand Still
4. Zooropa
5. Love is Blindness
6. Walk On
7. Exit
8. Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car
