[XHendrix24]

If we're just using this list (aka no Mercy and The Fly is a "T" song )...

A: All I Want Is You
B: Bad
C: City Of Blinding Lights
D: Discotheque
E: Electrical Storm
F: Fast Cars
G: Gloria
H: Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
I: I Will Follow
J: J.Swallo
K: Kite
L: Lemon
M: Mofo
N: New Year's Day
O: One Tree Hill
P: Please

T: The Unforgettable Fire
U: Until The End Of The World
V: Vertigo
W: Where the Streets Have No Name
X: Xanax and Wine
Y: Yahweh
Z: Zooropa

..Alright, so Xanax wasn't on the U2.com list, sue me.

And just for reference, I much prefer Mercy to Mofo (even though Mofo's a beast of a song), but I wanted to only include songs that were officially released.

 

[XHendrix24]

(I don't count The as the beginning word)

T - The Fly

[cleazer]

I like Johnny Swallow, but I'll go with Jesus Christ instead. Also, any song that starts with "The" shouldn't be a "t" song. (other than The Three Sunrises)

D: Desire
E: Even Better Than The Real Thing
F: The First Time

[coemgen]

I can't believe you people have enough time to do this.

 

[XHendrix24]

I can't believe so many people prefer Vertigo to Van Dieman's Land.

And, coincidentally, I can't believe anyone chose Van Dieman's Land over Vertigo. Differing opinions are a funny thing.

It actually only took me a minute or two. They've even got the nice whole list on U2.com to make it easier for people. To be honest, it probably took me longer to put two different quotes in this post than it did to pick my favorite song for every letter.
