But it was covered by them on Rattle and Hum, so I'm guessing that's the version he's talking about.
 
I know they all atren't U2 songs, but they were each covered by the band, and released in some way

And yes I am bored
 
and I can't believe you a) split up An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart before b) putting Into the Heart 102 places lower...!!
 
My question to irishteen is, how did you sit and listen to each of these songs, then rank them? That would take forever!
 
It didn't take forever, only 16 hours. Just listened to them in alphabetical, to remove any song getting a advantage of flow with another song, or any other think that might help a song, so every song was stand alone
 
Wow, 16 hours though...I have to admit, I may have to make a list as well, maybe tonight, I've got nothing better to do.
 
I think I'll do it when I'm supposed to be reading my U.S. History book...it will bring some life into the stupid book.

haha i take that class too...man it's boring

maybe an Irish band will explain to me about the whole Iran-Contra affair...Bullet the Blue Sky?
 
I once tried to rank U2's songs and gave up at #11. It was too hard.

When I make my tops I always feel like it is almost randomly.

With U2, after the six top songs which are well defined, it's very hard.

Congratulations Irishteen :wink:
 
When i posted a top anything before it was like, ye I love this song so it has to be here, then in the end Oh My god I forgot that brillant song, but with this, everything is were it should be in my opinion, nothing missed
 
Yeah, I disagree with that list a whole lot... Ultraviolet at 95? I'd probably have it in the top five, heh.

That's quite an accomplishment, though. Perhaps not the most constructive, but wow - you've got patience.
 
very impressive....i find it exceedingly difficult to do a top 10, because it probably changes week to week (or at least every once in a while)

My Time Hasn't Come

Tonight

All in the Light

Lost on A Silent Planet

Don't worry. I don't know them either. And I consider myself to be one of the greatest fans of U2 that ever lived. ;)

My Time Hasn't Come: soundcheck from 25 April 1987 in San Francisco.

Be There: demo from 1982 during a recording session in the US.

Tonight, All In The Light, Lost On A Silent Planet: Pre-Boy songs; Lost On A Silent Planet is the most prominent as U2 played it on a TV show. It is known under all sorts of titles such as The Magic Carpet, Judith, and combos of Life/Lost On A Distant/Silent Planet.
