^Agreed.
As for snippets in general, they're part of Bono's trademark, and I don't hold to the argument that if he took them out there'd be room for more songs, they don't take up that much time. Its fun, and I usually know the songs he's referencing. But I agree, with the exception of iconic bits like 'Shine Like Stars' in WOWY, the more occasional they are the better, and its good to have each U2 song unadulterated sometimes as well.
Obviously it can be even more fun when Bono improvises lyrics or adds his extensions like 'Hear us Coming' in One.
