5. Miss Sarajevo (Live from Buffalo-Vertigo 12/9/05): I was actually there for this one and had tears streaming down my face by the time Bono hit the opera. I hadn't cried in public for almost 10 years.

4. Please (Live from Rotterdam): Haunting; it absolutely wrecks me. I prefer this version to the album version because besides the fact that its absolutetly perfect and has that amazing transition into Streets, it also breaks me to hear Bono mutter that heartbreaking "Please, stop fightin'. Please?" Between that and the amazingly primal wail at the song's conclusion, I've basically decided that I need to marry this version and have its children.

3. SYCMIOYO: Such an intimate tune. Hits me hard in all of my soft spots. The kind of song that just makes you ache.

2. SIAMYCGOO: I've listened to this one alot lately. Its a really soothing sort of therapy song that's gotten me through some recently rough times.

and...

1. Walk On: Words can never describe what this song does to me. Or what it means to me. Walk On=
