  1. Using only 3 songs - yeh, it's my game so they're the rules if you're gonna play - define U2

    Me?

    Pride - power passion and it has a strong 'message'
    ISHFWILF - their 'faith' and all round brilliant song construction and musicianship
    One - perfect song both loved and envied by other artists - the original is just sublime pure genius
  2. Sunday Bloody Sunday
    With Or Without You
    One
  3. Hard to argue with these three (or the first list) but to mix it up I’ll say …

    I Will Follow
    Bad
    Streets

    Edit: I probably should remove IWF and replace it with One - a song I’ve stated was THE U2 song for quite sometime now.
  4. New Year’s Day
    One
    With Or Without You
  5. Mercy
    Bad
    The Little Things That Give You Away
  6. Bad
    Streets
    One

    For me, the extraordinary moments are when the songs are played live and so I would say these three embody that emotional pull above others...close call for WOWY, mind!
  7. Streets for craftsmanship
    Mofo for experiment
    Vertigo for commercial success
  8. Songs - what they represent

    A Sort of Homecoming - the timeless, ethereal, emotional, intimate U2 that I fell in love with

    Zooropa - the double take and grin that everyone does at that specific point as they go down the U2 rabbit hole

    Love and Peace - just…U2
  9. Pride (In The Name Of Love)

    With Or Without You

    Beautiful Day
  10. I Will Follow
    Sunday Bloody Sunday
    With or Without You

    (Pride, The Fly, Beautiful Day)
  11. Pride
    With or Without You
    Beautiful Day
  12. It can't be done since they've been so many things. You couldn't even define the band in three albums.

    Since it can't be done, I'll go with

    40
    All I want is You
    Love is Blindness

    All defining album enders...
