As hard as it is to do rank them in the order of how excellent and complete they are and also as a personal favorite. Could be done Lyrically (L) or Musically (M) like I have. Of course, this order of mine may change tomorrow.
1. ONE (L&M): I know it is overplayed but this is close to being my single favorite song of all-time. It means so much on so many levels.
2. ACROBAT (L&M): Great lyrics, Great drums, Great guitars, Great bass. Almost put this one at no. 1.
3. UNTIL THE END... (L&M): Those vocals are just Great lyrics and guitar lead too (where it climaxes into a chugging sound )
4. THE FLY (L&M): Love the attitude, the false opening and the guitars, gospel voice followed by low 'Man will rise'
5. EVEN BETTER... (M): Personal favorite here. Got me into U2. Musically amazing, that slide guitar favorite moment: at the beginning when the song kicks into motion with Larry crashing on the cymbals and Bono's scream fading away in the background.
6. ULTRAVIOLET (L&M): Great intro and lyrics (this is the price of love), awesome percussion
7. LOVE IS BLINDNESS (L&M): Atmospherics combined with dark lyrics.
8. SO CRUEL (L): These are the kind of heartbreak lyrics I like, non-wussy with an added fuck-you in "I'm only hangin' on to watch you go down............ my love"
9. ZOO STATION (M): Greatest intro ever (yes, including Streets)!!! Perfect soundtrack for peak hour at a subway station.
10. WHO'S GONNA RIDE... (M): If the intro on the album version didn't ruin it, this would be higher up for me. Great to sing along to. Love the Don't turn around part!
11. MYSTERIOUS WAYS (M): I have to be in the mood for it. Very smooth dance track. Perfect video to compliment.
12. TRYIN TO THROW... (M): Nice laid-back groove to this one. Least favorite here but still pretty good.
Damn, that was hard!
