I'm going to make a muthafuckin list.

Strongest to Weakest, here we go:

1. Dissapearing Act
2. Wave of Sorrow
3. Saturday Night - really dig this one.. superior to Fire
4. Yoshino Blossom
5. Desert of our Love
6. Rise Up
7. Angels too tied to the Ground
8. Drunk Chicken
9. Speed of Life
 
Is your list inclusive enough? :)

I took your nine songs and added in other remastered songs from other releases, including iTunes releases. We now get 20 songs!

1. Dissapearing Act (Remastered TUF)
2. Wave of Sorrow (Remastered JT)
3. Saturday Night (Remastered Boy)
4. Yoshino Blossom (Remastered TUF)
5. Desert of our Love (Remastered JT)
6. Rise Up (Remastered JT)
7. Angels Too Tied to the Ground (Remastered War)
8. Drunk Chicken (Remastered JT)
9. Speed of Life (Remastered Boy)
10. Levitate (ATYCLB Sessions)
11. Love You Like Mad (ATYCLB Sessions)
12. Smile (HTDAAB Sessions)
13. Flower Child (ATYCLB Sessions)
14. Beautiful Ghost (JT Sessions)
15. Xanan and Wine (HTDAAB Sessions)
16. Native Son (HTDAAB Outtake)
17. Winter (NLOTH OUttake)
18. Endless Deep (Two Hearts.. B-side - single not available everywhere)
19. Soon (NLOTH Outtake)
20. Cartoon World (Remastered Boy)

There's also these tracks, which haven't really been released:

Be There (TUF Sessions)
Don't Say Goodbye (AB Sessions)
Flicker and Fade (TUF Sessions)
My Time Hasn't Come (JT Sessions)
Street Mission (Early Demo)
Woman Fish (JT Sessions)
Mercy (HTDAAB Sessions - the original hasn't been released)

One could add more, but I'm ignoring items done by only one or two band members (Bono has a few of those) or some impromptu song ("We Love You").

I think I need to make a mp3 list of these songs to play a few times to answer your question.

P.S. I put in where the songs are from to refresh my own memory and perhaps those of a few others...
 
I don't want to mix 80's and 00's rankings because they're different eras and not comparable.

80's rankings
1. Saturday Night
2. Wave of Sorrow
3. Angels Too Tied to the Ground
4. Disappearing Act
5. Yoshino Blossom
6. Speed of Life (would've been higher if it was a vocal version)
7. Desert of our Love
8. Rise Up
9. Drunk Chicken

I'd rate Cartoon World at 7 if it were a studio version - that live recording is pretty average.

00's rankings
1. Levitate
2. Winter
3. Love You Like Mad
4. Soon
5. Native Son
6. Smile
7. Xanax and Wine
8. Flower Child

for the sake of ease, I chose only songs that were on the new remasters..

add everything you have there, and things get too complex!
