  1. Following on from a chat in the days of ash thread (went very much off topic apologies) this is a thread to discuss what your favourite u2 songs are starting from the release of HTDAAB. The original idea was a top 5 or 10 but that idea can be tweaked to whatever suits.
  2. 1) Miracle Drug
    2) City of Blinding Lights
    3) Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
    4) Every Breaking Wave (acoustic)
    5) Song for Someone
    6) Love is Bigger Than Anything In It's Way
    7) Vertigo

    Those are probably my 7 nailed on. Not necessarily in that order either.

    COBL and Vertigo could even drop out tbf. You're the best thing about me, Lights of home (St Peters strings version), Get Out Of Your Own Way, Little Things, Landlady, Blackout, 13, Iris and Moment of Surrender can fight it out for the remaining 3 spaces.

    2004 Onwards? 10 songs?

    City of Blinding Lights
    Magnificent
    Unknown Caller
    Moment of Surrender
    The Troubles
    The Crystal Ballroom
    Ordinary Love
    Love is Bigger Than Anything in its Way
    The Blackout
    Luckiest Man in the World

    "No Line on the Horizon", "Invisible", "Soon" and "Love is All We Have Left" come close as well and were the last tracks I cut. New EP is too new to pick anything from. "Song of the Future" may have a lasting spot...
  4. Mercy (original leaked version)
    Fez/Being Born
    Your Song Saved My Life (yes, really--I've watched the movie many times with my kids and it's a lovely, lovely song)
    Vertigo
    Moment of Surrender
  5. 1) Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
    2) Mercy
    3) Original of the Species
    4) Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
    5) City of Blinding Lights
    6) The Little Things That Give You Away
    7) The Tears of Things
    8) Every Breaking Wave
    9) Moment of Surrender
    10) Ordinary Love
  6. Here’s mine, very different to what it would been a few years back.

    City of blinding lights
    Vertigo
    Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
    Winter (linear version)
    Invisible
    Every Breaking wave
    Lights of home
    Luckiest man in the world
    Blow your house down
    Heaven and Hell

    Not sure if I should be including the last 2 but they were first released after HTDAAB was released.
  7. Chrono order

    1) Vertigo
    2) Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
    3) Mercy
    4) Smile
    5) Invisible
    6) Song For Someone
    7) Best Thing
    8) Get Out of Your Own Way
    9) Landlady
    10) Your Song Saved My Life

    tbh, there's 2 or 3 SOS versions that might have a crack but I didn't include
  8. I should add my picks weren’t in any particular order. Also I’ve left out the songs on days of ash to give them time to see where they stand but at the moment tears of things, song of the future and one life at a time feel like serious contenders

  10. 1. City of Blinding lights
    2. Tears of things
    3. Song of the future with wildpeace into
    4. One life at a time
    5. Unkown Caller
    6. Breathe
    7. Raised by wolves
    8. Sleep like a baby tonight
    9. Until the end of the world (SOS)
    10. Still haven’t found (SOS)
  11. Tough call, started with 28 possibilities:

    1. City of Blinding Lights
    2. Ordinary Love (SOS version)
    3. Raised by Wolves

    Yeah I could add Winter (Linear Version) to my list as well. My list has a pattern...a lot of things that didn't ever make a regular album. Sometimes I think they leave the best stuff off...
