I’ve put together a list of the top 6400 rock songs from 1950-2012.

These are based on the results of 37 other top rock lists that I got off the internet and then I added the scores for all the songs, which were based upon how often and how high each song ranked on various lists. So these aren’t my personal opinions, and I definitely don’t agree with everything on the list. But I have discovered lots of great songs in putting this together.
Here are the U2 songs that made it onto the list. The Beatles have the most songs in the whole list, but U2 does have the most in the top 100 (eight).
#10: One
#21: With or Without You
#23: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
