1) One Tree Hill
2) Mothers of the Disappeared

 

[AtomicBono]

Love is Blindness. Live.

One.

Wake Up Dead Man.

Stuck in a Moment, Running to Stand Still, and Bad all resonate a little too well with me. Add those to the list.

Mercy

 

[LMP]

Running to Stand Still
The First Time
Kite from Slane

[Dr. Lemonseed]

I had a major cry with Bad once. The desperation of a man ripped in two, trying so hard to build himself back...

otherwise, hmm, A Sort of Homecoming, Gloria, Streets, and The First Time.

 

[00Kevin]

I've never cried to a U2 song, but if for some reason I had to I would probably put these songs on.

1.Kite
2.Mercy
3.Stay
4.Staring at the Sun
5.Original of the Species

 

[2861U2]

Kite
One
Running To Stand Still from ZoOTV
With Or Without You

the live intro and outro of Streets always gives me goosebumps, is that close enough?

 

[GibsonGirl]

It depends on the type of crying. There are certain aspects of U2's music that make me cry sad tears, and some that make me cry...well I can't explain the latter. The first time I heard New Year's Day, I cried when I heard The Edge's piano. It was just such an amazing melody that it pushed me to the verge of tears. And then there was the first time I saw the Rattle and Hum movie...when the lights came on during the intro, I bawled. It was just such a powerful scene. So I don't know what I'd call that. Crying from "the awesome," maybe?

As for sad songs:

Love Is Blindness
One Tree Hill
Wake Up Dead Man (I'm alone in this world...)
Running To Stand Still (particularly Zoo TV version...the Hallelujahs get me all the time)
Kite

[Irvine511]

i cry at the sublime, meaning that when you hear something, usually live, suddenly more meaning than you ever thought possible splits open in front of you and the world is suddenly a different and bigger and better place.

so, with that in mind, i'd say:

1. streets
2. cobl
3. bad
4. ishfwilf
5. kite
