A lot of people at my school loved Vertigo when it came out even if they disliked U2 previously - then again, many other people hated the song and would sing it horribly to me. All the time. Funny at first, then just irritating.

Many people seem to like Beautiful Day, too.

If I'm trying to get someone into U2 though, the number one best song is DISCOTHEQUE. It's the song that got me into U2 and there hasn't been a single person that I've played it to that didn't like it.

No one at my school really knows any U2 from before ATYCLB...

I think the top 5 U2 songs among non-U2 fans would be:

Pride
One
With Or Without You
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

hmm, I'm not sure about the fifth, but those would definitely be the top 4. The fifth might be New Years Day, Desire, or Beautiful Day.

I think he means, in general your top 40 crowd knows the hits.

Doesn't mean they are shite, just means that there are a lot of people out their happily oblivious to 'hits'.

 

[Jack In The Box]

oh, this is easy:

With or without you
One
Pride
Vertigo
Elevation

 

[cobl04]

All the ones they know off the radio but don't know are actually by U2.

So I'd say -

Pride, Vertigo, Elevation, Beautiful Day, ISHFWILF.

 

[Irishteen]

I asked my friends what there favourite U2 songs were, after getting a lot of U2 have no good songs, they are the worst band of all time, they are gay,I finally got out

Beautiful Day
City Of Blinding Lights
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Pride(In The Name Of Love)
Walk On

 

[MumblingBono]

I know of no one, U2 fan or otherwise, who does not like New Year's Day. It is a classic of the highest order and loved by all.

Others: Desire, Beautiful Day, Pride, Holy Trinity, Sunday Bloody Sunday.
