Oh yeah, I had to fit Street Mission somewhere, if only because U2 cruelly ignored it for the Boy remaster. :angry:

I'm curious to know how all of you went about making your lists. For my list, I went through each album (along with collections featuring b-sides and demos, using u2wanderer as a reference point) and picked out the necessary songs, and then separated them out into 5 separate tiers based on my first impression. If one tier contained more songs than the others, I shifted them around as necessary. From there, I sorted them within the tiers, which was easier for the first and last ones than everything in the middle, where almost all of the songs were equal.

Wow! :crack: :wink:

I didn't wanna waste too much time with a list that is gonna keep changing day to day almost. So all I did was... okay One is my all-time favorite song and then... the JT trilogy is just classic so BAM! that's 2, 3 and 4... then a couple of killer tracks from Achtung but I don't wanna ignore Zooropa/Pop... so BAM! Stay, Gone.... Oh yeah NYD is classic! so BAM!... Catch my drift?

You just wait. In the fall, once the new album comes out, I intend on re-listening to every album and assigning each track a rating. :nerd:

Ha, I pretty much did the same thing when I picked the songs off the albums. "I like this, this, this...well, wait...not that one so much...aww, fuck it. This, this..." Numbering was really difficult though.

I forgot that regular members can't edit their posts later. You can send me a pm with your edited list and I'll use that instead when I tabulate. I just dont want you (or others) to post here twice with the accidental chance I'll count your vote twice. Same goes for anyone else's edits.
