1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
3. Gloria

Another young person who loves the old stuff!!
I love all U2 eras, but back when Gloria was the highlight, must do moment of the live show?
That must've been incredible!
Not that we were around then..............
I've given up on trying to make lists like this, but I like what I see from almost everyone so far!
More power to you all, I've given up in frustration every time I've tried.
Moment of Surrender, Bad, Unforgettable Fire, Stay, Beautiful Day, Streets....
Many, many songs keep coming up again and again.
This has probably already been done but maybe it would be fun if someone tallied the most commonly recurring choices up, made a poll and we voted on an interference top 10.

Lol I was going to do that, actually. I was going to let people decide for a few more weeks, add up all of the entries, assign each entry a ranking 1-10 (and 11 for unranked entry, that way if a song is not ranked by somebody it will pull the rank down).
See what people's personal favorites are. Trust me though, you're talking about having a hard time coming up with that list. I keep on looking at my list and banging my head. How could I have forgotten "insert song here!!!!" I forgot City of Blinding Lights!

Ooh, sounds fun. It is pretty darn difficult to keep to one list, though. I technically have a lot that would be on my number 1 spot in the list
Yeah, for the most part, the earliest is my favorite. I've gotten almost all the U2 albums except for Pop and Zooropa so far, and liked pretty much all the songs...but they had my heart with 'Boy' XD
That's what Red Rocks is for! I'm hopefully getting it for Xmas...and then I shall drool over it with my friend.

Top Songs Power Rankings
Okay, so I've grabbed all the submissions thus far, and we have 37 submissions. Enough to draft some data. Disclaimer here, we all know these lists are all changeable at a minutes notice. SO... just think of this data as a power ranking. One that you wont ever see another ranking of I was really bored, this took longer than I thought (about 2 hours). But it's exam week here, and I'm done with all of mine so everyone is studying and I've got nothin to do!
Basically, how I've done this is marked down every song listed, and put their placement number with their name. Each song has 37 numbers to it, so if it didnt rank, it gets an 11 for every number equivalent to an NR (not ranked). From that, all the data is averaged from each song and it gets a mean score x 100. Scale of 100-1100 Absolute #1 ranking being 100, NR being 1100.
Some fun data to start:
Interesting tidbit, one of U2's favorite songs, Miss Sarajevo, ranked dead last in songs ranked.
Mr. Popular - Most Times Ranked: Where The Streets Have No Name (24x)
One Hit Wonders - Number of Songs Ranked Once: 34
A Specific Taste - Songs Ranked #1 With 1 Rank: If God Will Send His Angels, Sometimes You Cant Make It On Your Own, Walk On, Walk to the Water, Even Better Than the Real Thing
Wait, What? - Surprised Showings: Angel of Harlem (No ranks), I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (2 ranks), Two Hearts Beat As One (1 rank), Sometimes You Cant Make It On Your Own (1 rank), Vertigo (1 rank)

I'm sorry, ISHFWILF Streets just needed to be first. And I'm not surprised, except that that and Two Hearts Beat As One (and Vertigo! what) were pretty far down there.
