"Bad" is an excellent choice. Like "Stairway...", "Bad" was also NEVER released as a single (it's true - "Stairway..." was always an album track despite it being one of Zeppelin's best known songs).
If not "Bad," then "Streets." I would NOT choose "One" or "With or Without You" for this category. While U2 may always be well known for those two songs, if one is trying to choose U2's "Stairway to Heaven" then "Streets" may come the closest to being that song. It's clearly THE song that gets any U2 concert going. It is long, yet every moment is enjoyable. Many describe it as a highlight of the show. In contrast, "One" and "With...", while outstanding songs, don't have the concert impact of "Streets."
