I don't think I could have made a list like this before Hut Dab, and I definitely can't make one after it. Songs such as Miracle Drug, COBL, and CFYT, and One Step Closer are right up there, though.
 
well, I'm not going to pretend to be able to do this in order, but I will cite the top 25, again in no particular order. My critieria will be just all-round outstanding performance, ingenuity and songcraft. (again, in no particular order):

1. One
2. With or Without You
3. Where the Streets Have No Name
4. Bullet the Blue Sky
5. Gone
6. Wire
7. New Year's Day
8. Like A Song
9. Electric Co. (Red Rocks version)
10. The Fly
11. So Cruel
12. Crumbs From Your Table
13. Another Time, Another Place
14. Gloria (Red Rocks)
15. Stay (Faraway So Close)
16. Drowning Man
17. Red Hill Mining Town
18. Bad (live version)
19. Deep In The Heart
20. Hawkmoon 269 (Lovetown Tour version)
21. Discotheque (Best Of Remix)
22. Miracle Drug
23. All I Want Is You
24. Walk On
25. Sunday Bloody Sunday
 
And you know what? I've been listening to Mercy nonstop for two hours and the more I listen the more it feels like it should be on the list, but I'll resist the temptation for now. Too easily does the fresh material entice and seduce. That's why the initial joy of listening to HTDAAB has settled a bit after dozens of listens and the real gems rise to the surface and the duds (One Step Closer) drop away.. And damn why oh why didnt they include a tighter version of Mercy in the album!!? (Yeah, I know, another thread, but I'm just sayin'.

No song on the cd is anywhere close to songs such as One, Streets, Bad, Gone...

... except for Miracle Drug, LAPOE, CFYT, OSC, OOTS, and especially COBL.

To each man his own.

Guess so. I find it particularly amusing that people either love OSC and call it a classic, or think it should have been dropped from the album. Definitely to each man his own.

Also, I've got a week off starting Monday afternoon. Cds should be sent almost for sure then :(

Heh, I'd nearly forgotten about that. Better late than never!

I find that everyone seems to love LAPOE, but it wouldn't be on my all time best songs list.

But Miracle Drug and COBL are terrific songs... though I haven't decided how good. Have to wait a few months I think...
