Top 5 U2 songs that 'Elevate' you!!

[sparkys girl]

Hope the title was not misleading, it was not meant to be!

Since all of us are experiencing post tour withdrawl and some for of 'depression'.

What songs do you listen to when you are down! we are talking songs that make you jump up and down, swivel & gyrate your hips with joy and excitement!

Here is my top 5:
1) Two Hearts (first song I hear every morning on my commute to school!)
2) Discotheque {love, love, love the Edgie's guitar, he rocks!...i would love to have been the girl dancing 'on the edge'(see video), lucky gal!}
3) Lemon (i love to do my best MacPhisto impersonation and sing falsetto...of course, I am no where near as good as Bluey is

)
4) Mysterious Ways (i always try and do the bellydancer moves...my boyfriend appreciates the effort!

)
5) EBTTRT (no explanation needed...the bono groans and moans are HOT enough!!!

These songs get my blood pressure elevated:

it was awesome hearing it played live, and i felt very lucky to hear them play it...Bono's voice was awesome when he sang this song live, it sounded like his voice from the mid 80's...the band was having such an awesome time playing it live...it was great....

 

[Courtney]

Top 5

HMTMKMKM
Mofo
Billy Boola
Mysterious Ways
Trip Through Your Wires


I also love "Out of Control" - I was lucky enough to hear them play that AND the acoustic version of "In God's Country"! If they had thrown in "Stay" or "Party Girl" I might have fainted dead away...

"Thank you. It was an amazing night."

Thanks for the compliments on my choice of Billy Boola! It's a Bono/Gavin Friday song from the soundtrack to "In the Name of the Father," for those wondering. If you don't have that soundtrack, go buy it! Right now!

I saw Out of Control and In God's Country at the November Dallas show. I was hoping they'd do Out of Control because I'd read on Wire that they'd played it several times on the third leg, but In God's Country was a total surprise... I knew they'd played it in Phoenix but I thought it was just a one-time deal. That was probably my biggest musical treat of the tour.

So Maria, I'm guessing that you're from Texas too . Which shows did you catch? I was at both Dallas shows and the Austin one - maybe we were in a GA line together!
