I can't pick 3 openers. They have so many fantastic ones.
I'll say my least 3 (what i would have had in brackets)
Discotheque (Gone)
Beautiful Day (Elevation)
Vertigo (COBL)
Next tier (ok ones, but maybe could have been better)
I Will Follow (Electric Co)
Gloria (Rejoice)
Awesome
SBS
ASOH
WTSHNN
Helter Skelter (thats right)
ZS
Zooropa
NLOTH
Top 3 are probably
NLOTH
Zooropa
WTSHNN
Closers
I love ALL of their selections of closers
Fav's are probably
Cedars
AIWIY
Is That All? (I LOVE the way it closes this album. It may not be their best song ever, but it holds it's place in the context of this album Real sense of urgency, great parrallel with the title, IS THAT ALL?!?!?!) love it

01. Zoo Station
02. I Will Follow
03. Where The Streets Have No Name
I love BD and SBS and I think they work great as openers but I could see them being in a different part of the album and still being as good.
01. 40
02. Love Is Blindness
03. Wake Up Dead Man

My picks exactly, except instead of The Wanderer, I would say Cedars of Lebanon.
Cedars is just out of the top 3 for me, along with Mothers of the disappeared.

Closers:

3) All I Want Is You
If The Ground Beneath Her Feet doesn't count because it's a bonus track, I'd replace it with Mothers of the Disappeared.

I dislike Love Is Blindness. Live versions are great, but album version is boring.

My favourite openers are (in precise order)
1/ WTSHNN
2/ Zooropa
3/ Zoo Station
Closers (in order)
1/ Mothers of the Dissapeared
2/ All I Want Is You
3/Fast Cars
I presume you're not asking for our favourite songs that open/close an album, because I do love A Sort Of Homecoming, but I was making my choice based on what I think starts and finishes well on an album
