[Aygo]

I'm not gonna make a list because I don't have a top 10, but one curious thing I see:
"Vertigo" is a song that is "bashed" many times here for its (exaggerated - for some) simplicity and relative lyrics but... a lot of people here did put the song in its top 10!...

hadn't watched that in a while, thanks for the reminder! awesome stuff.

 

[65980]

Hmmm... this is just based on studio tracks:

-- Pride
Guitar riff + Production + heroic vocal = Timeless, uplifting classic
-- Bad
Ultimate paen to the painful beauty of the human condition
-- With or Without You
Under "luminous beauty" in the Dictionary
-- I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
The theme of my life in song
Where The Streets Have No Name
-- Utterly breathtaking; epic and intimate like only U2 can do
All I Want Is You
The ultimate love song + brilliant arrangement
-- One
What 'Bad' is to the spirit, this is to human relationships
The Fly
-- A bit of an oddity here, but I recently re-fell in love with this song. The greatest guitar solo I've ever heard.
-- Beautiful Day
This comes alive at top volume. Brilliant lyric.
-- All Because Of You
Yes, I know no one likes this song as much as I do, but there you go.

 

[Boom..Cha..Hey!]

random order... most are live versions

1) Stay
2) She's a Mystery to Me (sure would like to hear the completed studio track)
3) Out of Control
4) Bad
5) I Still Haven't Found... (studio version)
6) Desire
7) All I Want Is You
8) One
9) Please
10) Yahweh (studio)

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses

Bad
All I Want Is You
Your Blue Room (I guess it counts)
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
With Or Without You

 

[coolian2]

I'm loving the Vertigo love.

 

[Axver]

I'm loving the Vertigo love.

I'm baffled by it. It's such a simplistic, shallow, throwaway song with little merit except that it provides a bit of handy energy early in a concert set.

 

[DevilsShoes]

Bad's my all time favourite, so that has to be number one, but the rest have no particular order, they tend to swap places quite frequently anyway.

WOWY
Gone
Please
Love Is Blindness
Kite
Beautiful Day
Streets
All I want Is You

 

[roy]

It's such a simplistic, shallow, throwaway song with little merit except that it provides a bit of handy energy early in a concert set.

That could describe many a great rock song...which Vertiigo most certainly is.

 

[Axver]

That could describe many a great rock song...which Vertiigo most certainly is.

I wouldn't consider anything that fits that definition to be a "great rock song".

A great rock song actually has depth, e.g. God Part II, Acrobat, Gone, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Wire, The Electric Co.
