1. From a realistic standpoint, I think ATYCLB, HTDAAB, and SOI contain the most new-fan-accessible songs in U2's catalog.
  2. Has to be something from Achtung Baby, so I would go for The Fly.
    Live version from Zoo TV. Can't get any better than that.
  3. Yeah, if it should be just one, it would be The Fly, Hold Me Thrill Me or Until or something like that...
  4. Tuf, WOW, Streets, One, Walk on, BD. Depends of the person.
  5. Something from ATYCLB, so I have less concurrention during ticket sales
  6. I think "classic" (aka 80s) U2 is more hooking to most people and more representative of what U2's music, lyrics and style are all about (like it or not). Bad, Streets, New Year's Day, All I Want Is You, that kind of stuff.
  7. That would be way difficult. But I'd go with "Where the Streets..."
  8. bullet the blue sky for me, any 80s version.
  9. Out Of Control.

    The song that first hooked ME was I Will Follow (Live UBARS). I was reeled in by All I Want Is You, then absolutely knocked out by Mysterious Ways.


    So Streets or One ...both songs are the best by U2 and represents U2 style
