  4. Okay, here's my two cents (too bad you can't pick two or three songs but I managed to narrow it down to one of each album):

    Boy: I will follow

    October: Gloria

    War: New Year's Day

    The Unforgettable Fire: Pride (In The Name Of Love)

    The Joshua Tree: Streets

    Rattle And Hum: All I Want Is You

    Achtung Baby: One

    Zooropa: Stay (Far Away, So Close)

    Pop: Gone

    ATYCLB: Walk on

    HTDAAB:

    City of blinding lights

    U218 Singles: Pride (In The Name Of Love)

    NLOTH: Magnificent

    Favorite album:

    I really can't narrow it down to just one. My favorite albums are actually all from Unforgettable Fire to NLOTH (except Pop).
  5. Hey Rattle & Hum, is somewhere in the second album tier. I don't even like country music and I'll admit that.

    And HTDAAB isn't THAT much worse than ATYCLB seriously. They should be ranked together cause they are quite similar

    Anyway my updated list inc. NLOTH:

    Boy - Twilight

    October - Gloria (i think it is, can't remember anything else from October)

    War - Sunday Bloody Sunday

    The Unforgettable Fire - Promenade (only because it's the best executed song on the album, otherwise it would be TUF)

    The Joshua Tree - With or Without You

    Rattle & Hum - All I Want Is You

    Achtung Baby - One (the album version of UV isn't that great)

    Zooropa - Stay

    Pop - Do You Feel Loved (again not sure about the top spot Velvet Dress and IGWSHA are also contenders)

    ATYCLB - Beautiful Day

    HTDAAB - City of Blinding Lights (or Miracle Drug, very close this - ironically both are 'inspired' by older songs ie. WTSHNN for COBL and BD for Miracle Drug)

    NLOTH - Breathe ( or Unknown Caller maybe)


  6. Boy: The Electric Co.
    October: I Threw A Brick
    War: Sunday Bloody Sunday
    The Unforgettable Fire: Wire
    The Joshua Tree: Streets (or Bullet)
    Rattle & Hum: Desire (or God Part II)
    Achtung Baby: The Fly or Ultraviolet
    Zooropa: Daddy's Gonna Pay
    Pop: Mofo
    ATYCLB: Elevation
    HTDAAB: COBL or Fast Cars (does it count?)

  7. Lets see...it's been a while...
    Boy: TEC
    October: Gloria
    War: tough...New Years Day or SBS....I go for SBS
    TUF: MLK for sure, TUF good 2nd
