What do you think U2's favorite U2 song is?

[mikal]

Or have they said so already?

It seems like they love Walk On(who wouldn't).

What do you think?

------------------
Look what you did, you little JERK!

Kevin! You're such a disease!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I think they really dig UTEOTW, since it was never a single and they've been playing it for years live. I also recall seeing somewhere Bono or Edge saying they really love it.



------------------
I know your garden's full
But is there sweetness at all?

 

[Sperber]

And as far as I know they also love "Stay"

------------------
beLIEve

 

[brettig]

bono once said hawkmoon 269 was his favourite...was a while ago now i think.

 

[Rastat]

Bono also loves "Your Blue Room", from The Passengers album, and he's told it would be in the Best of 1990-2000 compilation...

 

[zooropamanda]

Hes also said Acrobat is his fave from Ab
Mine too

They gotta love playing Streets, I mean..come on! You'd think after a while Edge or Adam would just go "nup, sorry fellas, cant possibly play this one AGAIN"

 

[rejoicing fan]

One - During the online webchat thing a while back someone asked him...if he could have written any song, what would it be and he said One.

 

[numbededge]

Bono's fave on ATYCLB is Kite. I'm guessing here, but I would think his all time U2 fave would be One.

------------------
I had the loudest mouth. When we formed the group, I was the lead guitar player, singer and songwriter. Nobody talked back at first. But then they talked me out of being lead guitar player and into being the rythm guitar player and into just being the singer. And then they tried to talk me out of being the singer and into being the manager. But I held on to that. Arrogance may have been the reason. - Bono

As a vehicle it has its limitations: it probably wouldn't get you to work and back. But it could make someone a fantastic cocktail bar. - Edge on the lemon

 

[Zoo Station]

Probably One

Ohhh, look who's increasing his post count instead of editing!

Considering there's 4 people in U2, i don't think they could agree on it - most likely each one of them has his favorite.

be uncool, yes be awkward

 

[scatteroflight]

It just might be Streets. I seem to remember that they have said that they will always play that live at every concert and it has the essence of U2. Or am I putting words in their mouth?

Dust from a distant sun
Will shower over everyone

i have an interview w/ Bono - JT era- saying he liked BTBS the best off of JT

I think Larry digs Staring at the Sun

RTSS is also one of Bono's top fives

hmm don't know about the others. Streets must be up there, although I remember reading Bono joking about the opening stanza, how he didn't like the lyrics or rhyme or whatever lol.

"Songs are the language of the spirit... the melodies are how you sing to God. It's a deep language. But they can't explain everything, because really great songs touch places that you can't explain." -Bono

Yeah, that was during a recent online chat with the Edge.

 

[bullet the blue sky]

This is a great question!

I know for a fact Adam likes Streets a lot.

Larry likes Bulldozer

He has good taste. That's one of my favs too!

And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

You can dream, so dream out loud!

[u2sangel]

I think they love playing Pride and Streets live!!!!

 

[pitou]

I remember that ISHFWILF from JT was one of their fav some years ago.

Pitou!

 

[Lemonator]

Probably Mofo for Bono because he said that his whole life is in that song.

------------------
"Yep...Silver and Gold!!!" - Bono

We'll Shine Like Stars In The Summer Nights...

 

[ocu2fan]

In Into the Heart, Bono said that he loved "40." Also, I've heard him describe the Wanderer as the greatest song U2 has ever written.
