there are many, I dont just immediately like everything that U2 do, just because it is U2. A few that I dont really like are....
WGRYWH- I think its the sha, la las.......
Half of Pop- but with this said, I think that the other half of pop is just amazing!!
Most of ATYCLB- its just too 'adult contemporary' and it dosnt 'rock' enough for me...

I agree with Miami....maybe I just didn't "get it"
I love U2 too, but ( like any other band I love ) there´re several songs that I really don´t like.
From Boy to present, here´s my list:
1- Stories Of Boys
2- With A Shout
3- Stranger In A Strange Land
4- Like A Song
5- "40" ( studio version, I love live version )
6- 4th Of July
7- Love Comes Tumbling
8- Night And Day
9- Daddy´s Gonna Paid For Your Crashed Car
10- The Wanderer ( I think it would be 100% better with Bono )
11- Miami
12- The Playboy Mansion
13- In A Little While
14- Wild Honey
15- Grace
16- The Hands That Built America
Peace

OH MY GOD, Loves comes tumbling????? 
That is my absolute favortie song they sing. I don't agree with all of this list but some of them you really should try to listen to again. Example...Playboy Mansion (an aquired taste), Like a Song 
Stories FOR boys, Hands that built America.
Otherwise, I can agree with a lot of your lists, some of them would be on mine as well.
My dislikes are Lemon, Wild Honey, Miami, Grace, Elvis Presley and America and the Wanderer (which I never even knew the name of just that it was the last song on Zooropa and I hate it.

I was shocked by that too. That is one of my very favorites of all time, currently in my top 3 at least. Other songs I love that people pick on are Ultraviolet, Red Hill Mining Town, Indian Summer Sky and Wild Honey.

Playboy Mansion I get picked for. People don't get the humor in that song. I think the words are funny. If OJ is more than a drink...The big Mac bigger than you think...if perfume is an obsession and talk shows confessions...NO???

This one I would say it was U2 that didn't get it. Most of the fans got it and knew it sucked.

Thank you for this topic! Not because I want to bash U2, but I'm feeling way too Eddie Haskellesque, afraid to hurt people's feelings or be too confrontational about songs that I don't care as much for. Without further ado here is my list of songs from the albums that I pretty much skip:
An Cat Dubh
I Threw A Brick Through A Window
Red Light
Surrender
4th of July
Indian Summer Sky
Bullet The Blue Sky (I know, but it's just not one of my favorites)
Trip Through Your Wires
Van Diemen's Land
(Pretty much all the live tracks on Rattle & Hum except ISHFWILF)
Love Rescue Me
Even Better Than The Real Thing( I know, such a crowd pleaser!) - I like the Perfecto Remix better
Baby Face
Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car
Mofo (Better in concert)
Last Night On Earth (Better in Concert, horrible choice for a single)
Miami (Much better in Concert)
Wake Up Dead Man (It bother's me when Bono cusses. I can't explain why)
Wild Honey (B-Side, too fun, like Sweetest Thing. Doesn't fit)
Peace On Earth (uninteresting, even though the lyrics are spot on)
But having said that, I'd still pay money to watch U2 perform them all.

Starsforu2 some of your list is a little shocking but I wanted to tell you that One4U2 and myself call Bullet the Blue Sky the pee-break song because it is the ONLY song we would leave the concert for and go to the bathroom.

Even Better Than The Real Thing was my pee break song during Pop.
I do confess that Bullet The Blue Sky is always interesting in concert, but it's never been a favorite.
I'm chuckling at the stories!

Walk On was actually the only song I liked on ATYCLB.

Even Better Than the Real Thing would be a good pee-break song. Not one of my favorites.

yeah i didnt like wander just because it wasnt bono. i didnt like love comes to town that much as well, kinda because it was taken over by bbkings band...i think
and i dont like last night on earth. theres something about it that makes me cringe. if i listened to it and disregarded that it was u2 i might like it....
i cant believe mothers of the dissappeared was on the list! thats a beautiful song...
i didnt like wild honey. it was like they spent a ton of time on all the songs and then shat that one out at the last minute.
i think i would like it more if it was a b side though. i like the lyrics....
