I'd have to say Streets (or One for the 90s fans)... just because it's their best known song to casual fans and has been played in every concert ever since. Personally, I like Until The End of The World, but hey that's just me.

Bad is a brilliant song, but the casual listener doesn't even know about this song, trust me, I once spent twenty minutes trying to convince a group of people that Bad was an original U2 song, not a Michael Jackson remake.

Stairway to Heavan is by no means Led Zeppelins BEST song, it is just one of the most popular (both by their hardcore fans and casual listener) Hence its position as a signature song.

One is also brilliant, but not as commercially appealing as With or Without you. It won a grammy and is by far the most recognizable U2 song EVER.
Therefore in MY OPINION, which is only my opinion, With or without you is U2's signature song.

That's what I want to know.

thats atrange because my viewpoint on how this should be judged is exactly the same as yours, but i would think that One and not WOWY is the most recognised and well-known song to teh casual listener. its always the song that non-fans know and rate highly.
i think a stairway song is one that crosses all boundaries - it can be a band you dont really know or like but somehow one of the songs seeps into the worlds consciousness and stays there, and to me, while not my personal favourite, One has got to be that song
