2. Electrical Storm
3. In A Little While

 

[bsp77]

Am I allowed to at mentions of In A Little While? Ah well, too late for asking, I just did it anyway.

As long as I can at you for somehow not getting one of the greatest U2 songs.

 

[innocent_eyes]

1.) Beautiful Day

2.) Kite

3.) Love and Peace or Else

 

[Exit thru Wire]

1. Electrical Storm
2. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
3. Mercy

 

[Lancemc]

toughy.

1. Beautiful Day
2. Mercy
3. Walk On

 

[God Part III]

Quite a challenge.

1. Electrical Storm (single version) - Best U2 single ever.
2. Crumbs From Your Table - You know why.
3. Fast Cars/Vertigo/New York. Probably Vertigo.

 

[zoopop]

1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Kite
3. Original of the Species

Beautiful Day is up there too.

 

[LMP]

City of Blinding Lights
Walk On
Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own

[00Kevin]

1.Walk On
2.Mercy
3.Original of the species

 

[ZeroDude]

1. Electrical Storm
2. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
3. Mercy

Now if a U2 album had all of this on it, it would automatically be great.

 

[ultravioletluvv]

Walk On
Kite
Electrical Storm

 

[LastEdgeOnEarth]

No easily, but they are:

1. City of Blinding Lights(most moving and inspirational song since "Streets".
2. Walk On-it became an American anthem and deservedly so.
3. Electrical Storm-vastly vastly underated and a shame it's nver been played live.

 

[vivaSA]

1. Walk On
2. Summer Rain
3. When I Look At The World

 

[GibsonGirl]

If we're talking official releases...

1. Love And Peace Or Else
2. City Of Blinding Lights
3. When I Look At The World

Unofficial:

1. Smile
2. Mercy
3. Flower Child

You may be wondering about the last one...well, the way I see it, in terms of happy poppy acoustic music, Flower Child is SO much better than Wild Honey. It's just fun to sing and play guitar to. Not the greatest song ever, of course, but I don't mind it.

 

[Tombola]

In A Little While
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Love And Peace Or Else

 

[If you shout...]

Compiled from everything...official, unofficial, cell phones, whatthefuckever:

1) "Mercy"
2) "Kite"
3) "Smile"

But "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" is close. Close, though, doesn't cut it. That's my list and I'm stickin' to it. Holla.

[Flaming Friar Sr]

what... yesterday by the beatles?

ill give you a clue; its a god song

now how many god songs with a y do you know??

 

[LyricalDrug]

It boggles my mind that people list B-sides and rarities here. Not that there's anything wrong with them, but it's still really surprising that such rabid U2 fans would choose songs that the BAND doesn't even think deserve to be chosen to put on albums, much less released as singles.

I guess it shows there's nothing more subjective than artistic taste!
