3.Love will tear us apart->WOWY
4.Ruby Tuesday->Bad

If you have more, rank them, i can't think of more
 
A quick top 10 ...

6. The Electric Co., I Can See For Miles
7. Vertigo, Stories For Boys
8. Discotheque, Howie B Hairy B Mix
9. 11 O'clock Tick Tock, Give Peace A Chance
10. Running To Stand Still, Dirty Old Town
 
Loving Johnny Comes Marching Home in Bullet this tour, as well as Stories for boys in Vertigo.

I couldnt really give a ranking.
 
I think we need a definition of a "snippet". Added verses made by the band are not a snippet in my opinion. Snippet is a part of ANOTHER song(could be by U2 or somebody else). So, "Hear me coming" in One and "Shine Like Stars" in With or Without You are not snippets - they're added verses.

My favorite ones:
Break on Through(The Doors) in The Electric Co.
Two Tribes(Frankie Goes To Hollywood) in Until the End of the World
Gloria(Van Morrison) in Exit
Love Will Tear Us Apart(Joy Division) in With or Without You
Three Little Birds(Bob Marley) in Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World
 
My favorites:

Running To Stand Still, Dirty Old Town
Bad, Allison
Bad, Molly Malone
(probably every snippet in Bad :drool:)
Exit, Gloria
Beautiful Day, Blackbird
 
Bad-Streets, 40/psalm snippet
Bullet, Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet
The Fly, intro snippet
Out of Control, talking about history of the band snippets
Sunday Bloody Sunday, Get up stand up snippet
Bad, Ruby Tuesday Snippet
Vertigo, Stories for Boys snippet
Electric Co., The Cry snippet
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Intro with Bono thanking people for sticking with them
WOWY, Shine like stars snippet
Exit, Gloria snippet

not sure if the talking ones count as snippets, but hey :)
 
Off the top of my head:

Running To Stand Still, Dirty Old Town is awesome.
I've always liked "I Love The Crowd" on Electric Co.
Ruby Tuesday on Bad. Molly Malone too. Yeah, every Bad snippet.
Shine Like Stars, of course.
Mysteriious Ways > Sexual Healing
One > Do you hear us coming

Running to Stand Still, Dirty Old Town

Really? I thought you would have liked that. I think it's a wonderful, solemn, sombre snippet that works well, especially with When Johnny Comes Marching Home.
 
I dont mind the 'Johnny comes marching home' bit too much, but i'd just so much rather here THTBA in full!:grumpy:
And for me, Bullet just isnt sounding the same without it's usual..."100, 200"..part.


(I'll still love it when i'm there live tho!):wink:
