Your u2 top 20

I know this is done alot, but I really do love reading over peoples favourites. All the lists are always so diverse and different, it's kind of like what's trash to one U2 fan is treasure to another. Anyway, here's my top 20...

1. All I want is you

3. One
4. Still haven't found
5. A sort of homecoming

HTDAAB is my favorite album of all time, it is an A+++++. I love it and still can't get enough of it after a year. I am worried about the future though, Mercy is very overrated and I can't say it is in my U2 top 30...I hope it is not the 1st single as I can't see it being a hit.
