Awesome list. Happy to see that my top 3 matched Interference's top 3 songs. Only difference was that I had The Fly at number 1. But number 3 is still pretty damn good.

I had 'Bad' at number 1 and 'Where The Streets Have No Name' at number 2.
I think Interference has dyslexia.

Nice list Interference. All the top 10 were in my top 25 except for Stay which was #26 for me. I'm 
about Crumbs making it to the top 100 ... I'm generally surprised how much of Bomb made it.
10 songs from Pop in the top 100, good job guys

Now I guess the only thing we have left to do is say how much of our original 50 made the final 50.
My list had 34/ 50 on the final
34 of my top choices were in the final list, I guess interference has good taste!

nice...
mine might have had more but I included a lot of passengers
but at least this shows that the majority of us agree with the 50 best songs (or at least about 30 of them)

How far do you guys think the NLOTH songs will fall next time?

Maybe a little, but not much. I am thinking these songs have staying power.
Yeah, I think Magnificent is a permanent top 10 song. The tour could have some impact on future lists as well. If, for example, Unknown Caller manages to transfer really well in the live setting, it could get a big boost in the long run. Sort of like Bad.

Here's my predictions for next time, completely dependant on how the songs go over live
8-15 (6)Magnificent
10-20 (19) Moment of Surrender
21-30 (20) Breathe 1073.4
15-40 (25) Unknown Caller 920.7
30-50 (26) No Line On the Horizon
40-55 (59) Fez - Being Born
55-70 (62) I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
60-80 (72) Cedars of Lebanon
90-100 (78) Get On Your Boots
60-70 (79) White As Snow
100-150 (128) Stand Up Comedy
In the album standings, holding at 4 but this time about 100 points behind TUF
And I'm wondering how often you guys want to run something like this I have two ideas that I'm willing to do, twice a year
Winter (December-January), and in the Summer (June-July)
Or once a year at either of those times, what do you guys think?

I think once a year is plenty.
Any more than that and you will run up against the law of diminishing returns.

When do you think would be the best time to run it then? I'm thinking of this winter, I know that'll put only 8-9 months between this and that one but could start with one year gaps after that

I think the break between the 2009 and 2010 parts of the U2360'Tour will be a good time to run another list.
I'd suggest keeping it as far from such events as possible, as they skew the results. Just look at NLOTH's showing here. Run it when the UF remaster drops and - as much as I'd love to see it - the album will likely get disproportionate weight. Down periods when not much is happening tend to be the best time to run these things as you get an outcome more reflective of long-term tastes.

I think winter this year will be best, the tour will have been over for a few months so it won't be too heavily biased towards it and the album will have been out for a while. Then it can be run again around that time every year, altering slightly for events that have happened. Pushing it forward if new album/remaster is coming out, pushing back if tour is on or album/remaster has just been released

WTSHNN was #1. Irishteen was just being cheeky listing Twilight as #1. (Though I'm not sure about the different Twilight version being a joke or not. I'm not a U2 historian/officianado, so for all I know there may be an earlier version than what was released on Boy.
