New Years' Day, which also quite repetitive, is a bit more inventive and has been imitated by other bands (See "No Brakes" by The Bravery).

Yeah, I totally noticed that. The Bravery are catchy as hell but they're one of the most unoriginal bands ever.
As for Adam... no way I could narrow it down to just five. He has so many insanely good basslines. I'd have to say his best bassline is New Year's Day, though. His best album is definitely Pop... the bass on every fucking one of those songs is fantastic. Especially Discotheque, Do You Feel Loved, Mofo, Gone, Miami, If You Wear That Velvet Dress, and Please.
Some of his best non-Pop basslines imo are Streets, WOWY, Exit, Lemon, MW, Acrobat, Vertigo, Gloria, Seconds, Like a Song, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Stateless, and A Man and a Woman.
Adam rules. People don't realize how much the rhythm section contributes to the overall sound of U2.
