[SkeeK]

Stay
Where The Streets Have No Name
Please
RTSS
Bad

Album: AB

 

[AtomicBono]

I can't believe how many people have listed UTEOTW as one of their fave songs. Most U2 fans I have met have really disliked it.

WHAT?! How could you NOT like Until the End of the World?! They must not have heard it live...after seeing it live I don't understand how anyone could think of it as anything but one of U2's greatest.

My list...this is tough, and not nessecarily in order, though I think #1 will always be..well...One

1. One
2. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
3. Discotheque
4. The Fly
5. Where the Streets Have No Name

fave album...gods this is tough, it's basically tied between Achtung and Pop. Honestly I can't choose...I think I'll go with Pop though, because without Pop I wouldn't be into U2 in the first place, plus I like to go for the underdog

 

[bsp77]

Songs:

1. One
2. New Years Day
3. Where the Streets Have No Name
4. Bad
5. The Fly

Album:

Achtung Baby

 

[Joshua87]

I cant believe how pathetic we all are...

1. Bad
2. One Tree Hill
3. Please
4. Pride
5. Until the End Of the World

Favorite album??...gosh, all so different. I want to go with Pop but i hate Miami and am sick of Discoteque, so Ill stick with Unforgettable Fire!

 

[blindbilly]

achtung baby forver and ever, amen !

 

[corianderstem]

Ooh. Let's see.

1. Where the Streets Have No Name
2. Out of Control
3. Electrical Storm
4. A Sort of Homecoming
5. In God's Country

Album: Achtung Baby (which seems wrong, since I have no songs from AB listed in my top 5, but do have 2 from Joshua Tree)

 

[starsforu2]

1. Bad
2. With Or Without You
3. One
4. 40
5. The Fly

[ZeroDude]

the 1 so cruel is mine

 

[uwwedoogie]

come on people keep voting, ive counted them all and its exciting, but we need more...

 

[If you shout...]

come on people keep voting, ive counted them all and its exciting, but we need more...

Just a quick note: when you totalled everything up, earlier, were you ONLY counting the number of votes each of the respective songs got? If so, this list isn't gonna' come out quite right--you have to do something along the lines of giving the top song five points, the fifth song one point, and then seeing the top point-getters...or somethin' like that. "I don't mean to bug ya'..." but I just wanna' see what's what, for real. Here's my stuff, then:

1. "Bad"
2. "MOFO"
3. "Who's Gonna' Ride Your Wild Horses"
4. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
5. "An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart"--I know they're technically two songs...but they don't work without one another...! Sorry!

Achtung Baby

 

[bono_man2002]

1. Stay (Faraway So Close!)
2. Until the End Of The World
3. Streets
4. Pride
5. One

Album

'Hut Dub' 'HTDAAB' or 'How To Dismantle and Atomic Bomb'
one of those...

Are we supposed to list our 5 favorite U2 songs and favorite U2 album?

 

[stuTV]

My mistake...I didn't mean to start a separate thead...i wanted to add to the current thread "top 5 u2 songs". I apologize.

 

[Shade]

1. A Sort of Homecoming
2. The Three Sunrises
3. Lemon
4. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
5. Heartland

The Unforgettable Fire album is unbeatable, to my ears. In fact, it was murder not to fill up all top five songs with tracks from that album, so I chose a B-side as number 2. That's how much I love it. Everything about it is brilliant, from the music, right down to the cover art.

 

[Sunny69]

Joshua Tree

1. Bad
2. I still Havent found what im looking for
3. With or Without You
4. Streets
5. All I Want is You
