  1. I've been thinking about what the best U2 albums are (up to this point), and I thought one way to guage that would be to list what I think the best U2 songs are and which albums they are on. So here is my top twenty-five:

    1. Sunday Bloody Sunday (War)
    2. One (AB)
    3. Where The Streets Have No Name (JT)
    4. Pride (In The Name of Love) (UF)
    5. Beautiful Day (ATYCLB)
    6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (JT)
    7. New Year's Day (War)
    8. Magnificent (NLOTH)
    9. With or Without You (JT)
    10. Bad (UF)
    11. Stuck In A Moment (ATYCLB)
    12. The Fly (AB)
    13. I Will Follow (Boy)
    14. Moment of Surrender (NLOTH)
    15. Please (Pop)
    16. Gloria (October)
    17. Walk On (ATYCLB)
    18. Vertigo (HTDAAB)
    19. A Sort of Homecoming (UF)
    20. Stay (Zooropa)
    21. Even Better Than The Real Thing (AB)
    22. Window In The Skies (18S)
    23. Silver and Gold (JT B-Side)
    24. City of Blinding Lights (HTDAAB)
    25. Every Breaking Wave (even without hearing the full version, I already can tell this song is a winner)

    The next 25 would have more songs, mostly from JT, AB, ATYCLB, War, The Unforgettable Fire, Pop, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, and No Line on the Horizon -- so I guess I know what my favorite eight U2 albums are.
  2. Music blog I write for just let me do this exact countdown on the site: check it out...another writer is doing the same thing for Pearl Jam currently, but scroll through/check the archives for my list- it's called "The Line on the Horizon"
