What do you think the top 10 U2 songs of all time are as of right now?

Mine:

1. With Or With Out You
2. Where The Streets Have No Name
3. Pride
4. New Years Day
5. Ultraviolet
6. Unforgettable Fire
7. Wild Horses
8. Kite
9. Mercy
10. One
 
Ok, you're new here, so we'll pretend like no one has ever done this before. :wink: Gotta say, Horses doesn't usually make it to the Top Ten. Welcome to The Blue Crack!
 
I can only judge which ones are my personal favorites. And I will take "as of right now" quite literally, as I'm sure it'll change again next week.

1. Where the Streets Have No Name
2. A Sort of Homecoming
3. Out of Control
4. Until the End of the World
5. Bad
6. Heartland
7. Gloria
8. Acrobat
9. In God's Country
10. The Unforgettable Fire

That really felt random. But it doesn't feel wrong, either.
 
No particular order:

1 Streets
2 WOWY
3 Unforgettable Fire
4 Sort of A Homecoming
5 Bad
6 Until The End of The Word
7 Please
8 City Of Blinding Lights
9 Moment of Surrender
10 Mofo
 
1. A Sort Of Homecoming
2. One Tree Hill
3. Heartland
4. The Unforgettable Fire
5. New Year's Day
6. Bad
7. Gone
8. Acrobat
9. Wild Irish Rose
10. Spanish Eyes
 
1. The Fly
2. Bad
3. Lemon
4. Zooropa
5. Where The Streets Have No Name
6. Until The End Of The World
7. New Year's Day
8. Unforgettable Fire
9. Mofo
10. No Line On The Horizon
 
It always changes, so it's probably not the same list as last time:

1. Where the Streets Have No Name (preferred version: Popmart Sarajevo)
2. The Unforgettable Fire (studio)
3. Zooropa (studio)
4. Until the End of the World (studio)
5. Ultraviolet (ZOOTV//Dublin)
6. Lemon (ZOOTV//Sydney)
7. I Will Follow (Vertigo//Milan - I was at that show, and it's the best version ever :drool: )
8. Moment of Surrender (Wide Awake In Europe)
9. Your Blue Room (studio)
10. Stay (studio)
 
1. The Unforgettable Fire
2. Please
3. The Fly
4. Where The Streets Have No Name
5. Gone
6. Your Blue Room
7. Moment Of Surrender
8. A Sort Of Homecoming
9. Lemon
10. The Ground Beneath Her Feet

That was quite random. Only the number one spot is always the same.

This is the largest forum community I've ever been a part of, so I dont think it can hurt to repeat it again and again!

Anyways, this list is really, really hard to make for me. It's always changing. I'll take a stab at it though.

1. Where the Streets Have No Name
2. I Will Follow
3. Sunday Bloody Sunday
4. Beautiful Day
5. Bad
6. City of Blinding Lights
7. Gloria
8. Pride (In the Name of Love)
9. Numb
10. A Day Without Me

My U2 flavor is always changing. I used to not like Pride at all, and then one day it hit me. I used to never even touch Bad either. I still dont like Miss Sarajevo, although I'm confident one day it will fall on me lol.
 
i enjoy going through these top tens every now and then. i know my tastes will change just on what i've been playing lately, so it's good to review it.

1. the unforgettable fire
2. one tree hill
3. no line on the horizon
4. hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
5. stay (faraway, so close!)
6. ultraviolet (light my way)
7. hawkmoon 269
8. new year's day
9. another time, another place
10. fez-being born
 
At the moment:

1. If God Will Send His Angels
2. Please
3. Love Is Blindness
4. Running To Stand Still
5. Acrobat
6. The Unforgettable Fire
7. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
8. Where The Streets Have No Name
9. The Fly
10. Moment Of Surrender
 
Off the top of my head:

1) The Unforgettable Fire
2) The First Time
3) A Sort of Homecoming
4) UltraViolet
5) Elvis Presley and America
6) So Cruel
7) With or Without You
8) Where the Streets Have No Name
9) Love Comes Tumbling
10) Zooropa

Those aren't necessarily in order.
 
I can't make a top ten or a top twenty or whatever. I don't like ranking music anyway. It would be different each day.
 
Today's Top 10 (Tomorrow's will probably be different):

01 Lemon
02 White As Snow
03 The Unforgettable Fire
04 Do You Feel Loved
05 Magnificent
06 MOFO
07 Running To Stand Still
08 Magnificent
09 Scarlet
10 One
 
This list is in constant rotation, as several others have noted...

1. With or Without You
2. Where the Streets Have No Name
3. Please
4. Beautiful Day
5. Lemon
6. New Year's Day
7. Mysterious Ways
8. Breathe
9. Love Comes Tumbling
10. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
 

Ha, I did not even notice that was on your list, and in the same spot, no less. It's a great call. I will never understand why that song was not on UF, especially considering that songs like "Promenade" were deemed strong enough for the album.

I can't remember now what I read about it in the linear notes for the remaster, but if memory serves, Edge doesn't much care for the song, so I'd have to guess it was a somewhat consensus thought or something.
 
In no order:

Mysterious Ways
Ultraviolet
Streets
Until the end of the World
Breathe
Beautiful Day
Mofo
Heartland
Unknown Caller
Fez Being Born
